Consumer Complaint: To anyone who will listen : My consolidation master promissory notes ( MPN ) are dated in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, in such, there is no 6 months grace period. It is my understanding that all consolidated and non-consolidated loans are treated the same. When Nelnet began to enforce the newer version of MPN with Item 17 grace period, I never signed that version, I was never advised by Nelnet of any changes to my MPN or the enforcement of the newer version of MPN. I was in school for fall XXXX and took the spring/summer XXXX off due to a job relocation, to included, I am currently in school for fall XXXX. During my time away from school, my non-consolidated loans had a 6 months grace period. Without my knowledge, Nelnet reported to my credit bureau, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX 90 days late payments during my VA mortgage pre-approval process. My VA lender disqualified my loan because of the recent XX/XX/XXXX 90 days late listed on my 3-credit bureau. I respectful request verifiable proof of a signed Consolidation Master Promissory Note ( MPN ) with Item 17. By Nelnet submission, their review my signed Consolidation Master Promissory Note ( MPN ) with Item 17 and upon request this document was never provided. Nelnet decision to enforce policy, shouldnt supersede contraction obligations has led me and my family into financial hardship and emotional stress with the negative credit report posting of late payments. With Nelnet negative credit bureau listing and denial of VA loan has presented very limited options regarding housing for my family. We are begging Nelnet or XXXX to reverse the negative impact. Ive enclosed my three signed MPN dated XXXX. I respectful request verifiable proof of a signed Consolidation Master Promissory Note ( MPN ) with Item 17. If the signed Consolidation Master Promissory Note ( MPN ) with Item 17 is not provided, I respectfully request the removal of all negative posting of late payments in XXXX & XXXX on XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Thank you for listening, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: This is in connection with a closed complaint XXXX filed on XX/XX/XXXX regarding XXXX. The initial complaint was regarding XXXX selling my private student loan to XXXX XXXX but continuing to report to the credit bureaus for nonpayment. XXXX has since responded with a letter they said they sent me indicating XXXX XXXX will begin servicing my loan beginning XX/XX/XXXX ; however, I've called XXXX XXXX several times and they do not have any information about me or my account. They have no history, nothing current, nothing closed, or nothing pending. My name isn't in the system, my account number, my loan balance, no information at all. However, XXXX has also indicated XXXX reported to the credit bureaus on they're behalf ; but XXXX does not have any account information of me to report. So who is reporting to the credit bureaus if it's not XXXX as the financial service XXXX sold my account to? I have not been able to pay my student loan or make arrangements due to this issue. XXXX doesn't have my account and XXXX didn't have the account. But someone continued to report nonpayment! According to XXXX " After the transfer, XXXX began reporting on your student loan on XXXX 's behalf. '' According to XXXX, they don't have my account information and are unable to report any information to the credit bureaus. They have never had my account information. XXXX has reported nonpayment to the credit bureaus on a consistent monthly basis ; but has indicated it was not them reporting ; but XXXX. XXXX has once again affected my credit score by reporting a closed account and non payment during the month of XX/XX/XXXX as a result of his complaint. I also never received a notice from XXXX that they would be servicing my loan as indicated in the letter from XXXX in XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: Back in XX/XX/2018, I spoke with a nelnet rep. They gave me a new repayment plan which was to begin on XX/XX/2018. They also told me I would get a Admin. Forbearance which meant that my account would be come current and up to date and allow time for my monthly billing statement to be sent to be before my first payment of my new repayment plan is due. Then I check my credit report in XX/XX/2018 and see that I have XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX late fees on my report. I emailed them, faxed them and they refused to remove my remarks. They told me I was out of forbearances. So why didnt they tell me that back in XXXX. Anyways, again I checked my nelnet account online yesterday and I see they have updated my account with a new repayment plan of XX/XX/2018, which is fine, but they also gave me a Admin Forbearance, which is what I thought I was getting back in XXXX. I feel they are trying to make up for what they didnt do in XXXX. I am thankful they did this for me, but its a little to late for my credit report. I am gladly accepting this new repayment plan, but why was this not put into place back in XXXX. I feel that they made this mistake and not changed my information back in XXXX which lead to late payments on my report. If I was out of forbearances back in XXXX then why did they give me on in XXXX? Do you see what Im getting at? I think they just never changed anything to my account in XXXX and thats how the late fees came about. All Im asking is for these to be removed and make my account up to date and current. Because it was not my fault. I am keeping my payment arrangement the way it is now, but want those XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX updated. I also got an email from them : To dispute this further, you must file a credit dispute directly with the XXXX XXXX Agencies. Nelnet and the XXXX XXXX Agencies will then work together to investigate your dispute. Below is the contact information for each of the XXXX XXXX Agencies : then gave me the credit reporting information. If I file with the reporting agencies, I dont think anything will happen because they will still refuse to change this, even though its not my fault. So this seem like a waste of time. I have tried doing this but nelnet just keeps saying its accurate. Its only accurate because they never updated the admin forbearance on my account in XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX onXX/XX/XXXX in an attempt to collect a debt in the amount of {$630.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested two months of forbearance on my loans because I lost my full-time job. These were granted with no issues, and I was not informed of any restrictions moving forward on using the rest of my forbearance months ( XX/XX/XXXX remaining ). I do not have a full-time job, and my monthly income is {$1800.00} ( I work three part-time jobs ). I am unable to afford my fixed expenses ( {$2400.00} ) in full so I attempted to speak with XXXX about using some forbearance while I tried to catch up. However, they informed me that 9 monthly payments must be made in between the use of forbearance before another 2 months can be used. This is the first I've heard of these stipulations. I am behind on this loan and if I have 10 months of forbearance, it would be helpful to be able to use it since this is why it exists. I'm working on pulling up my promissory note from when I originally signed the loan with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX now services XXXX XXXX loans ) because I don't believe I was ever informed of us. If I was, I would have potentially reconsidered using the forbearance some months ago. This aside, XXXX was unable to work with me any further on. Is this what it's come to? If people can't make a payment, they just push you into a bigger hole of debt?

Consumer Complaint: I am in XXXX this is the reason why my loans was paid-off or clear by the department of Social Security on XX/XX/2018. I was checking my credit report to see that reflected, since the Social Security department notify me about that, then it supposed to be clear by then right but for some reason the same day it was closes the same day they reopen or duplicate the same loans. I contact the Social Security and they told me to try to call this company " NELNET '', but I was not able to open my account with them since I do not have any loan. I called them and they said they do not have idea. My credit score shows I still owe them when obviously I am not. It is not fear they are try to charge me again just to get more money.
