Issue: Problem when making payments
Subissue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Consumer Complaint: I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and found 180 days late payment on the dates XX/XX/2019 to XX/XX/2019. I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me.

Consumer Complaint: Dear Collector, NELNET LOAN SERVICES INC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NE XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I do not believe that I owe this debt or what you say I owe. Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 809 ( b ), Validating Debts : If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. ( emphasis added ) I respectfully request that you provide me with the following : 1. the amount of the debt ; 2. the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; 3. verification or copy of any judgment ( if applicable ) ; 4. proof that you are licensed to collect debts in Maine ; 5. proof of the last payment made on the account.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Information belongs to someone else
Consumer Complaint: My sister and I have the exact same social security number with the exception of the very last digit. While going through my credit report recently I found several items on my credit which I did not open and I am positive that it was due to my sister using my social for her accounts. There are 7 student loans taken out in 2009 alone. There's no way that they all belong to me. I would like to see about researching which ones belong to me and which ones don't and see about removing the ones that do not belong to me from my credit report. My sister was working for XXXX XXXX a little more than a year ago and during that time her student loans were not reflecting negatively on the credit report because the company has a repayment program but a year ago my sister left that company and now all of a sudden I have all of these extra student loans that have hit my credit report and lowered my credit almost 200 points. I have been trying for months now to be able to figure out where the student loans are being held how much is being held and when they were open so that I could figure out which ones I needed to dispute but every single loan holder that I have called has no record of my accounts existing at all. I am at my Wit 's end and I don't know what to do from here and I would greatly appreciate the assistance

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: I was in deferment since XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX is reporting on two of my accounts that I am 90 and 120 days late ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX on each ). I was in deferment firstly. Second, they report in every month prior to XX/XX/XXXX that I am on time. So then, how can I be 90 days late in XXXX seeing that I was on time just 30 days prior.This is an injustice. This complaint extends to the two reports I have with Nelnet as well. In XX/XX/XXXX ( on deferment mind you ), they report me on time and then 90-120 days late XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX while I was on deferment. They do the same thing in XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX and once again in XX/XX/XXXX. This is exactly the same for both reports. Now, doesn't law state that anything on my report that is untimely, inaccurate, or unverifiable MUST be removed? Everyone knows that there are no months with 90 days in them. So, since there are no months with 90 days in them, reporting me late 90 days ( not once, but a combined 5 times ) would be inaccurate! And what was it the FCRA stated about inaccurate information? That's right! It must be removed. How is it that XXXX, Nelnet, and XXXX all ignored my dispute and continued to report inaccurate information? I know my rights and the law. For three companies who operate daily under this law to continue reporting this inaccurate information in a huge violation of my rights and the law.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: I am trying to pay off my XXXX school debt. I originally started with XXXX XXXX and my loans were sold to NELNET. I have recently tried to pay off the remaining balance. Online payments are not allowed for " pay off '' due to accumulating interest creating a higher payment than what is actually owed. I called and had to submit additional payment of a dollar or so to cover the interest " while the loan payment is being processed. '' I am unable to just " pay off '' this loan today. I am frustrated. If interest is over what I have " paid in advance '' then I need to call back in a few days and make another " less than one dollar '' payment to cover. This is predatory and taking advantage of people taking out these loans. Payoff should be simple.
