Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Consumer Complaint: Nelnet has been continuing to charge me interest on my student loans despite the fact that the federal government has told them not to due to Covid 19. Further, Nelnet has deferred interest on some loans but not mine and has given no explanation as to why which is discriminatory and in violation of the equal protection of the laws.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Nelnet has 2 separate loan accounts listed on all three of my credit reports. There is one loan and one loan amount only for the amount of {$12000.00}. I was late on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Being that Nelnet has listed 2 separate loans, via my credit reports, it states I have been late 4 times ; this is incorrect.

Complaint ID: 3783999

Date Received: 2020-08-07

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Subissue: Can't temporarily delay making payments

Consumer Complaint: I've sent several letters since XX/XX/2019 to Firstmark Services/XXXX disputing to have a late payment marked on XX/XX/2019 deleted. During that time, I called them to have the XX/XX/2019 payment delayed due to unexpected circumstances but they failed to provide me any assistance with forbearance/deferment for that month. As a result, they reported a late payment for XX/XX/2019 to all credit bureaus. During this pandemic, this negative remark has caused a loss and impossible to get approved for residency and other living necessities. I have been an exceptional customer paying every month on time. This late payment does not reflect my actual credit worthiness. Therefore, I am requested this late payment be deleted from all credit bureaus.

Date Received: 2020-08-07

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Consumer Complaint: For the past several years I have had excellent repayment status on all of my credit reports for Nelnet and my student loan. Over the past 2 years I have attempted to remove information that is negative and/or over 7 years old even as old as up to 20 years old off my report from Nelnet and most notably the Department of Education. I have many examples from my XXXX credit report showing wrong information and it needs to stop. If accounts are closed they can not be updated to continue on my record for 20 years! Nelnet and Department of Education are not immune to Fair Credit! XXXX is just as guilty for allowing their illegal practices to continue.
