Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: I received an alert on my credit report that I had a delinquent account. We I looked to see what it was I found that Nelnet loan services reported the delinquency. I contacted Nelnet by phone and also went online and immediately paid the bill. I explained to the person I spoke with that I was under the impression the loans were deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lady asked if I was active duty military or in school at the time which I stated NO. She then said there was nothing she could do for me. I stated that I had not received a voice mail or email regarding this. Of course, she stated that they attempted to call but I had never received a voicemail. I believe this should be wiped from my record due to a misunderstanding with all the COVID related info coming out and confusion this is causing. I would appreciate any help with resolving this matter as I was just following the federal governments information being distributed to everyone and I immediately took care of the situation upon discovery.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: I entered into a consumer credit transaction with only the U.S. Department of Education only in 2013. However, Great Lakes Educational Loan Services Inc. acted as the servicer and debt collector for this alleged loan. They have violated countless federal laws by collecting, attempting to collect an alleged debt and illegally sharing transaction details of a federally protected consumer with several other uninvolved parties and without my prior written consent. I have begun my private administrative process and attached below is my first Affidavit of Truth, Cease & Desist letter, Exhibits and Invoice for all there willful and negligent violation of federal law.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received an alert from TransUnion that a Nelnet account was reporting 120+ days late. This caused my credit score to drop 61 points! I called and spoke with a representative and she said that they have not reported on my account since 2016 and that my account was paid in full through consolidation. I demand that this account is removed or updated to show accuracy.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I sent you an email through your company to which I never received a response. You are reporting late payments on my account from XXXX to XX/XX/2020. I find this to be unfair because I updated my card account but your company kept charging the old card. These late payments were not the part of my own. I am writing in hopes that you can correct these late payments to paid on time as they are negatively impacting my score.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Hi, I hope all is well. I have one account with Nelnet that has reported my account as " current '' one month, then on month later, reports as " 90 days late '', then reports as " 120 days late '' the following month before reporting as current again durning the following 4th mont ( Current - 90 Days Late - 120 Days Late - Current ). This has happend on three separate occasions : - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX When I log into my account, the latest account information dates back to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Attached ). When I call to get information that dates back further, I am told that it is not available, which makes it impossible for THEM to furnish this inoformation to others. I have asked for a correction with through mail, email, calls to representatives who can not make changes even at the supervisory level which is the highest level you can get to in a call. LASTLY, this ONE account reports as 15 different accounts. Which means I now have 75+ negative incorrect reports from a Nelnet which can not provide information/proof explaining how I can I can go from " current '' to " 90 Days Late '' from one month to the other. Any help or clarity given would be really appreciated. All the best, XXXX XXXX
