Date Received: 2020-01-07

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Consumer Complaint: My automatic monthly payment was withdrawn from my checking account and I was charged an unavailable funds fee despite there being more than sufficient funds in my account to cover the charges. My bank did not charge me an overdraft fee, but the loan servicer charged a fee as if the account was overdrawn and they could not collect the scheduled payment, despite collecting the payment in full. I would like the additional charge to be refunded to my account, as the loan servicer clearly charged it when there was no cause to do so.

Company Response: Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Nelnet to renew my income contingent repayment plan. The representative informed me of the Repaye repayment plan and placed my account into an administrative forbearance until XX/XX/XXXX to get the paperwork processed. On XX/XX/XXXX I reviewed my credit report which showed my account as 90 days past due. I called Nelnet on XX/XX/XXXX to discuss the status of my account which was thought to be in a " forbearance '' status pending re-certification. Upon speaking with several representatives on XX/XX/XXXX it was revealed that the representative whom I had spoken with on XX/XX/XXXX provided incorrect information. I was not eligible to switch repayment plans nor was I eligible for an administrative forbearance because I have parent plus loans included in my direct loan consolidation. The customer service rep stated they tried to contact me via telephone but there is no record of a phone call nor voicemail to substantiate this. My credit is ruined due to misinformation provided on behalf of a Nelnet customer service agent. I should have been offered a Hardship forbearance as I was offered on XX/XX/XXXX to bring the account current while I re-certify. In summary, Nelnet needs to remove the negative reporting from my credit report and do a better job training employees. I am totally disgusted by the companies lack of integrity and unwillingness to correct a severe mistake. I am will to sue this company to have my credit restored. This is a consumer nightmare.

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

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Consumer Complaint: I was an ineligible student at an ineligible school that is not accredited in the United States nor on the federal school list. The school is also not eligible under title IV to receive financial aid. I filed for bankruptcy in XXXX of 2016 and the company continued to collect the debt regardless of the stay. The judge approved the bankruptcy. The company still attempts to collect. I have referred them to my attorney. The company is not exempt from bankruptcy law as the debt was made through a for profit company and must abide by the court 's ruling.
