Consumer Complaint: How are you doing? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT THIS WAS INVESTIGATED - IT'S BEEN ALMOST 6 MONTHS AND XXXX OR NELNET HAS IGNORED MY DISPUTE AND NEVER ANSWERED BACK. 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.

Consumer Complaint: I made a number of extra payments to pay off one of my loans in full inXX/XX/2020. These payments were supposed to be allocated specifically to my loan with the smallest balance. Nelnet told me that they were being allocated to the loan that I wanted to pay off. On XX/XX/XXXX, my account showed a XXXX balance for principle, accrued interest, and capitalized interest as well as showing " Paid in Full by Borrower ''. In XXXX, I noticed that the loan had come back and had a balance showing on the principal. I called back and they said that the payments just needed to be reallocated and it would be taken care of. They sent me a letter showing that the loan was paid in full. I assumed this meant that I didn't need to continue monitoring for that loan. Around XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that there was a {$42.00} balance showing for the loan that I had already essential closed out twice. I called Nelnet and they said that I owed the {$42.00} and that the letters had been sent in error. I called back twice more and was told that I needed to call back on XX/XX/XXXX and speak to the Account Solutions Team because they were the only department that could really close out the loan that I have paid in full. I called back and requested to speak with the account solutions team. I was instead transferred to a general studentaid.gov phone number and couldn't actually speak to a person. I called back and spoke with a representative who told me I couldn't speak with the Account Solutions Team because they really only deal with refunds. She told me that she would have to file a payment reallocation form and that it would actually work this time. I told her that I had already done this twice and it hasn't worked yet. I just want the loan that I paid off to actually indicate that I have paid it off.

Consumer Complaint: I have been a victim of identity theft for several years and I recently contacted the Ohio Department of Education to have my information ceased sharing with any third party company. I have also filed a claim against XXXX for the most recent data breach in which I was impacted and can be seen by my attachment. They sent me a response stating they do not disclose my information to third parties for marketing purposes, however I specifically asked to stop sharing all information regarding my account to third party vendors including by not limited to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX and was denied. My accounts are continuously being violated and all entities are soliciting me for paid services to " protect my identity '' although it has already been stolen and continues to be used for fraudulent accounts or applications that I did not authorize. I have used the security freeze option and fraud alerts that they provide however, when I am applying for any credit and have those things lifted. I am immediately hacked with someone verifying my information with the knowledge of my student loan history as a verification method. I would like to have a relationship solely with the Ohio Department of Education without them continuing to supply my account history, status or anything of the like with non-government entities such as XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: I found out via an email from XXXX XXXX that a student loan had hit me account. I logged in to see it and it was taken out at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, GA. I called XXXX at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to say that someone opened up a fraudulent loan in my name. She told me to contact the Department of Education and would send me a packet to fill out and return. I talked to XXXX at the Dept of Education on XX/XX/XXXX. She said the loan was taken out on XX/XX/XXXX. She opened up a case. I called the XXXX Police Department in XXXX, MO on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX. He opened up a case for it. I was sent a packet by Great Lakes to fill out and to send them a copy of my driver 's license, SS card, police report and other information. I did all that they asked of me to prove that it was not my loan. They denied me. I appealed it and they denied me again. They said, " Your Federal Direct Master Promissory Note ( Direct MPN ) was electronically signed on XX/XX/XXXX. Funds were used to pay for your attendance at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' I don't even understand that. The loan was taken out in XXXX at XXXX XXXX. They then go on to say in the letter, " Your Direct MPN, dated XX/XX/XXXX, contains several items of information that assist in confirming your identity and by extension your relationship to the loan to include ( but not limited to ) your name, social securtiy number, date of birth and address. '' Anyone could steal that information! It happens every day. They denied my appeal. I don't know what else to do. This loan is not mine. I'm worried about it destroying my credit. I need to find out what else I can do to prove I never enrolled in this college or took out this loan.
