Complaint ID: 3111514

Date Received: 2018-12-28

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: I had a group of 5 student loans that were refinanced. The loans were overpaid by {$160.00}. XXXX XXXX said that they issued a check on XX/XX/XXXX. Then in a separate correspondence they said they issued a refund check to the new servicer on XX/XX/XXXX. When the new servicer said they still hadn't received any payment, I asked again and XXXX said they issued a check on XX/XX/XXXX. The date of the supposed refund check keeps changing and the new servicer still says they haven't received any payment. This {$160.00} seems to have disappeared even though I am paying interest on this amount integrated into my new loan. I don't believe XXXX actually sent any refund check to the new servicer.

Consumer Complaint: Nelnet / XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting I have 5 missed payments on student loans that are duplicate accounts to XXXX. All of my school loans have been deferred for years now, because I am still in XXXX. This false reporting information has impacted my credit score and been damaging my credit for years now. I have been paying higher interest rates on loans and higher insurance rates, because of their erroneous reporting practices.
