Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Hello there, Recently I have been going through all my finances and my credit report, and it has come to my attention that Nelnet, my student loan servicer, has been reporting that I have had scheduled loan payments dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. This is incorrect because I received a letter back in XX/XX/XXXX in the mail, saying that my first payment was not until XX/XX/XXXX. I also went online to check my Nelnet statements, and for the month of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, it says the same thing. In early XX/XX/XXXX, I called for a forbearance which I received, so there is no mistake for the month of XX/XX/XXXX, but for the month of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, Nelnet has been providing false credit reporting. Because of this, my credit score has decreased.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: unfortunately your form wont let me check all the boxes for the issues i have had with my loan servicers. first, they are unwilling to take my payment via visa debit card because i live and work abroad. they were able to take my payment for rehabilitation but refuse to accept payment to keep my loan current. they have been doing this for over 2 years. I have shifted from XXXX, to nelnet to XXXX XXXX.. I have the money and the desire to pay but they literally will not take my money. also they have lied repeatedly about my options as my loan was defaulting. they have harassed my family by calling many times asking them to pay my bill even though they have absolutely nothing to do with the loan and signed nothing on the documents. im pretty sure you wont do anything but i am out of options, this situation has destroyed my credit and inflated my loan debt. the situation is insane. i am out of options and have no recourse. there is absolutly no power here for borrowers its disgusting how little is being done to deal with this.. these companies are a scam and run as a criminal enterprise and no one is doing anything about it. its disgusting.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: I am requesting that complaint XXXX be reopened. Firstmark lied in their response. They refunded the payment retroactive to XXXX then removed it in XXXX from my account and have consistently lied about when to expect my refund. I am attaching the emails I received from them as well as a screen shot of my account. I spoke with them today and they said I will receive a check sometime in XXXX. They refused to issue it with a tracking number. As they lied in their response to the CFPB I am requesting an investigation into fraud.
