Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Subissue: Can't temporarily delay making payments

Consumer Complaint: I was making monthly Student Loan payments ( to a now defunct XXXX University, XXXX XXXX ), after a forbearance period, when I had a XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX. The guidelines were made clear in the U.S. Department of Educations documents, even online, that such a Medical crisis is grounds to have a S. Loan " discharged. '' After supplying the proper Medical documentation ( s ), I received a XX/XX/XXXX letter stating my Discharge was Approved. Some time later I began getting phone messages from the same company ( Nelnet ), stating my previously discharged account was " reinstated, '' without explanation. I got a letter from them dated XX/XX/XXXX, I still possess. During that time I was maritally separated. We lost the home, etc. We filed bankruptcy and I've just discovered Nelnet is on the list of creditors to get a payment? I totally disagree with this payment so I contacted our Bankruptcy attorney. He stated Nelnet " is '' on the list, and may only get a minor amount of the funding. He totally ignored my initial complaint of them being on the list, at all. After an initial XXXX, a second one is much easier to suffer. Nelnet had no regards for my health with their letters, calls, threats, and demands. I feel something nefarious and illegal may be going on here, with Nelnet getting an " illegal '' cut of our Bankruptcy filing.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: This complaint in with NELNET Student loan servicing. I have had an account with Nelnet since XX/XX/XXXX ( ACCT : XXXX and XXXX ) and ( Address ID XXXX ) that of which I have was enrolled at XXXX University doing an undergrad program. Upon receiving my loans from XXXX Nelnet assured me that I would not go into default but into a forbearance program that would defer my loans until I graduate. Subsequently, I did not do well at XXXX and enrolled at XXXX University. I then received more loans from Nelnet and also had them placed in forbearance and stated to me that my loans would be due 6 months after I graduate. My date to graduate from XXXX was in XX/XX/XXXX. However, I completed the program early and my degree was conferred in XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately started getting loan payments from Nelnet of {$600.00}., {$450.00} and other amounts. I immediately called Nelnet and informed them that my 6 months had not expired when I began receiving these notices in XX/XX/XXXX, Nelnet informed me that my time expired and that the loans were due. I replied that no one informed me of any time period between my lapse in school which was two months two receive my schedule and transcripts to be received to start school at XXXX University. Therefore, my loans were placed as being 30 + days late. I have pleaded with them, because I have never been late on my loans with Nelnet as proof is given. As a result, I got my lawyer to intervene on XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX, as of yet NELNET has not returned any calls or written correspondence to myself or my lawyer. I am asking that these late payments from : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX are removed from my credit report because I was NEVER late to Nelnet.
