Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Keep getting calls about your loan

Consumer Complaint: In the past against my explicit wishes Firstmark Loan services has contacted family members including my elderly grandmother about loans that were just a few months past due. In the past year or so I have not let that account get that behind and it is currently up to date and has not been more than one month behind in probably a year or more. However I am, at most, one month in some sort of annual or biannual check of contact information which I updated online today. This info has not changed in 3 years. But without attempting call or email or send a letter about this they decide to start calling my Aunt instead. This is ridiculous I am a XXXX year old why do they keep reaching out to my family about my personal private information and all on a small student loan debt that has been a few months behind at worst!

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: My loans had gone into default and in late XXXX I started the processes of consolidating them and bringing them into good standing. The consolidation process comes with a period of time to change or amend things. I received my consolidation packet in the mail AFTER the date it said I could make changes/amend the agreement. I immediately called My Great Lakes and they said that today is the day that everything was consolidated and because they didnt hear from me theres nothing they can do. HOW COULD I CONTACT THEM BEFORE I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION? Its ONE DAY and with Covid everyone knows the mail has been notoriously slow. Im so angry/frustrated. They CAN help me, they just dont want to. Ive told them that as soon as I got the consolidation packet I saw two incorrect items and those are the ones ai didnt want to include in the consolidation. Theyre refusing to help me. Its really gross on their part.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2020, I requested copies of the promissory notes for my loans serviced by Firstmark Services. I received a message dated XX/XX/2020, that I can expect to receive the copies via email within the next 30 days. I had not received them within that time frame. I then followed up by phone with Firstmark on XX/XX/2020. The request was apparently resubmitted. I still have not received these documents to understand the terms of the loan.

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

Subissue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Consumer Complaint: Thank you for reviewing the complaint. After reviewing the credit profile, Nelnet continues to report account XXXX repeatedly. According to FCRA the method of reporting is illegal and inaccurate. The multiple accounts display as if 26 late-payments, instead of two late-payments. The method of reporting continues to compromise credit score and creditworthiness.
