Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services

Subissue: Billing dispute for services

Consumer Complaint: I moved from XXXX to XXXX after I graduated college, Nelnet did not have my updated email or address & I was unaware that my loans were due during the period that they have placed against my credit. From XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2019 they reported me past due on all 5 of the loans each month. This has severely hampered my credit. My parents signed me up for these loans and I was not fully aware of them, I did not know they were through Nelnet & was not notified since they never had my proper email or address. I hope that you guys can help me out and remove this from my credit score, or at least bundle all 5 loans into one so it doesnt hurt me as bad. It is hard enough having about {$90000.00} of student debt, but my life has been miserable due to this honest mistake. Please help me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Consumer Complaint: I graduated from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I experienced a death in the family and went back to XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX to support the family. For the year of XXXX I lived in XXXX and did not have a cell phone or access to the internet, due to my remote location. Apparently, my student loans had a grace period of 180 days. The 180 days should have been up in XXXX of XXXX. Nelnet, my student loan servicer, never got in contact with me directly to state I had a grace period or that it was up in XXXX of XXXX. However, they placed derogatory remarks on my credit report without ever notifying me to let me know it was time to begin paying back my student loans or that the loans were moving to past due. Although, when I reentered the United States I began paying back my student loans in XXXX. I have contacted nelnet about this issue and they refuse to take the derogatory remarks off my credit report.
