Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: HI U.S. Department of Education/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ... ..How are you doing? I was shocked today when I reviewed my credit report again and found late payments for my student loan accounts. I disputed this account and nothing was sent to me to legally verify the accuracy and legitimacy of this reporting. It continues to report incomplete, inaccurate, and unverifiable information, and therefore, it's impossible that it was investigated and verified as being accurate Hows it possible that youve reported me 90 days late with no late payments prior to that like the 30 and 60 days, and questionable balance still reporting? Also, wasn't Navient student loan servicer sued for not applying payments to consumers accounts correctly. This is reporting in violation of my rights and honestly, i don't want to waste your time nor mine going back and forth, and I would like this removed from my credit as I was never late the way you're reporting it.

Subissue: Problem with customer service

Consumer Complaint: My Student loan is with Nelnet ... ..I have called Them 6 times since XX/XX/XXXX and have asked them to send a billing statement so I could pay them ... .Since the Federal Govt is dropping them as if XXXX ... they have decided not to co-operate with me and others ... and as a result I now have late fees etc, since I am 3 months behind on payments ... This Company I have heard is being sued for this reason, but I am not the one who started it ... I have also tried to activate a forbearance but I doubt they even care ... I cant pay them if they refuse to send a statement!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I just spoke to a rep with Great Lakes and even a manager XXXX on XXXX XXXX XXXX ( they said they got my payments and in adm forebears til XXXX ) ). I called to get status of My loans to make sure they were under cares act until XXXX to get verbal confirmation they were reporting it correctly As well as to get date so I would be prepared. I was told my loans were under cares act Another reason I called was because I spoke to XXXX XXXX Ombudsman with dept of Ed ( earlier XXXX ) and she said aGreatlakes and nelnet were reporting I had not paid anything XXXX. Plus I has received a letter after I made 4 payments through XXXX from Great Lakes saying that they only received XXXX payment! This was before they sent me a detailed list with payments i made, a late XXXX for interest and I paid an extra payment they were collecting and I didnt have to pay! I have never experienced a company like this!!!! It seems like they are trying to take from people anyway! Mess up credit and loan status they manipulate to their advantage.both Nelnet and Great Lakes ..they change status to deferred or forebearance prior to coronavirus vs repayment in order to run them out!!!! this letter says I agreed to resume payments in XXXX but I didnt I wasnt working during the summer! Seem like bullies they both sent conflicting letters throughout my time! Its bad enough nelnet came in picture XXXX because Great Lakes gave the loans I disputed several times and they seem to mix up loan information/conversation between the three companies and in phone the seem to say wrong thing then correct it!! I realize all of this is being recorded they have!! If it wasnt for the illegal entries in my apt , Forged docs and stolen signed green return card ( deleted out of mailing system found receipt and I saw green certified card signed by XXXX something day before made police report I organized them ) XXXX pension with XXXX may be stolen and a weird XX/XX/XXXX Ascension ( Great lakes company- I didnt know who they were especially based on weird letter.nothing attached.. I was updated in payments on loans and they send a letter ... I thought it was a bogus debt collectors ) regardless something is so off with all three companies1.Big picture if i didnt see all this ... I wouldnt believe they were trying to steal from government and consumer!!! Great Lakes keeps changing my phone number and both companies said they dont do hyphens very odd but I think they are changing my name because they wont pull names together ... there is a dispute regarding a fake XXXX promissory note in name XXXX and my signature was crooked on bottom!!! Copies of certified disappeared- with hacking this can be updated to paid because I saw documents credit reporting and much conflicting info in various sources?? Looked like a setup ... .technology is more advanced than people know to- easy to steal our money ....
