Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: This debt has been a burden on my credit report for a long time. The first issue is that its a closed account still reporting late payments. Second issue is that the debt is no longer owned by this company. The debt is owed to XXXX XXXX. Also, When asked to verify all 4 exact same debts i was told that it was " verified '' no type of documentation or signatures. These duplicated ( 4 In total ) accounts are bringing my score lower and preventing me from getting a home. I will like the outcome of this complaint to be all accounts ( 4 in total ) labeled " DEPT OF ED/NELNET '' be deleted.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Subissue: Can't temporarily delay making payments

Consumer Complaint: After experiencing a hardship associated with the wildfires which affected my employment in the XXXX XXXX Area in XX/XX/2019, I made every attempt to secure a Natural Disaster Forbearance with my loans serviced by FIRSTMARK SERVICES, owned by XXXX XXXX. While all of my other private student loan lenders were willing to work with me, FIRSTMARK SERVICES were unable or unwilling to assist me with a Natural Disaster or Administrative Forbearance on the technicality that the disaster was declared as a FEMA Emergency as opposed to a disaster. I had been previously advised by a FIRSTMARK Representative that I would be able to be placed on an Administrative Forbearance as an exception given the severe hardship the disaster had on my employment, but was disconnected and future representatives were unable to assist me with this information or a forbearance. Again, it must be stressed that all other private lenders were willing to assist me during this difficult time, and FIRSTMARK SERVICES Should stand by their customers during these times as well. As a student borrower whom has experienced severe hardship as a result of the natural disaster as previously noted, it is very disheartening that FIRSTMARK SERVICES is unwilling to place my account in a Natural Disaster or Administrative for the 3-6 month period as previously promised for these types of disasters, which has caused significant hardship for myself and family. At this time, I am requesting immediate assistance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in assisting me with the placement of these loans on one of the forbearances as requested during this very difficult time.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: Follows is copy of a complaint filed on the website of the creditor XXXX/Firstmark == XXXX XX/XX/2020 I seem to recall seeing verbiage on the website says something to the effect of " being committed to making loan repayment as easy as possible. '' Following is a accounting of an failed attempt to pay a debt in full using a valid instrument. Proceeds to pay-off my loan were secured and transmitted to XXXX/Firstmark with supporting documentation. The payment was confirmed as received by XXXX/Firstmark, and a confirmation number received. After several days, the account showed " Payment Reversed. '' I conducted several individual phone-calls to the issuer of the funds ( XXXX XXXX ) and to XXXX/Firstmark, as well as a conference-call including representatives of both these entities wherein receipt of the funds and validity of the submitted instrument were verified. Representatives of both entities acknowledged ( on a recorded line ) that i had committed no transactional error. At the conclusion of these communications, XXXX/Firstmark failed to receive the payment and settle the debt. If i committed no error, and the instrument used to repay the debt was verified as valid, i can only conclude that it is a failure of XXXX/Firstmark to live to its creed. XXXX/Firstmark 's relation to Nelnet is particularly noisome to me, and emphasizes XXXX/Firstmark 's its failure to " walk its talk. '' Please be advised that copy of this complaint will be forwarded to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
