Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX Ln # XXXX lists me as " Paid was 90 '' or delinquent 90 days. I was NEVER delinquent. I had applied for deferment. I called them to confirm they had my paperwork. They confirmed it. I called again later and then they stated they could n't find it. I told them to look again and they found it. The paperwork was turned in timely and before the deadline. The account has been transferred and is being reported multiple times. It should be removed due to inaccuracy and duplication. It is impacting my credit and I was denied a home loan.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX we received our first bill from XXXX XXXX for XXXX. ( attached ) We promptly paid the bill. Again, in XX/XX/XXXX we paid our second bill for XXXX. Again, both on time. Then when XX/XX/XXXX statement came we were billed XXXX. My husband called XXXX XXXX to find out what the issue was. We were told there was a loan shortfall caused by us paying XXXX ( the amount we were billed ) and that our loan was re-amoritized. I argued I had a fixed rate loan, had never missed a payment, had never made a late payment, and paid exactly what was billed. Well, after double checking my promissory note ( attached ) and TILA ( attached ) I was to always be billed XXXX. XXXX changed the monthly payment and thus caused a shortfall. When I told them this information they refused to correct the shortfall. Not only did they not correct the mistake they refused to return my calls or emails to provide answers for these issues. Around 90 days later and this issue still exists and they still refuse to answer. Additionally I offered to make up the shortfall myself by offering a check for the missing amount and they just applied it to interest. Thus the shortfall still exists. The extra amount would have gone directly to principal. Additionally, in XX/XX/XXXX we made an extra payment amount on top of the monthly payment. This was made all at the same time. The letter we sent contained directions to only apply extra payments beyond the monthly requirement be applied to principal and not the next months payment. This was ignored. Then XXXX " a higher up '' as she calls herself lied and told me it went to principal when clearly it did not. We requested this be fixed and it has not been done. No one has offered to fix anything either. A certified letter is attached that I mailed. I also made dozens of calls.

Consumer Complaint: Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX/Neltnet I recently viewed my credit report and noticed errors on my credit report. I 've contacted you notifying you about some fraudulent student loan accounts open without my authorization, consent. I 've sent you certified mail letters, a police report, documents verifying that it was all fraud but you fail to send me any documents bearing my signature and it 's been past 120 days and going on 6 months. You 've contacted the credit bureau notifying them that these accounts belong to me. I 've called several times speaking to customer service reps and making them aware of this situation but I have n't received any fraud packets in the mail. I was lied to and given the run around. It is ridiculous. I 'm accused of these accounts and I 've never been a member of any colleges or signed any student loan documents. I am a victim of identity theft, and have been a victim for some time and several times throughout my life and it 's not a great feeling. I refuse to be accountable for someone 's wrong doing and this will be my final letter before any legal actions are taken against you and the credit bureaus for posting false information on my credit file. No ongoing reporting from month to month shall be posted on my credit because these are fraudulent accounts I am not aware of these accounts. I will have my lawyer investigate any documents, if for any reasons I suspect that a signature was forged by someone impersonating to be me, I will be seeking a lawsuit against any institutions, credit bureaus, and XXXX XXXX XXXX/Nelnet as well. I am now giving 5-10 days total. I am not sending any documents I 've sent in the past because I 'm spending my hard earned money sending over certified documents and if your company did n't correct these issues before then it 's not my fault. I repeat for the final time these accounts are n't mine. I have been an identity theft victim several times in the past and impersonated. How much more would I have to prove my innocence to you? I have discriminated against by your company as a criminal because you continue to contact the credit bureaus verbally verifying accounts that does n't belong to me. If that is n't discrimination then what is it? I am disheartened that your company continued to verify month to month for several years that this account was mine and it was n't.

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan
Consumer Complaint: My student loans under one account with Nelnet was reported to all three credit reports as credit cards and having 8 different student loans. My Nelnet Account # XXXX Current Balance {$48000.00}. My student loan account I had filed a dispute fraud done by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX financial aid department and with federal student Aid. I have repeadly informed representative that forged Promisory Note not signed but typed my name on X/XX/10. Promisory. Note done by someone in the financial aid department at the University. XXXX XXXX, Chief Financial Aid Officer at XXXX XXXX I spoke to was the go to person who handles these frauds and disputes. Informed that all my financial aid files would be audited and that the forensic accountant auditor would be done. Nelnet representatives informed me that nothing would be reported as delinquent since I filed a fraud complaint and once that was cleared up, my student loan would be recalculate and corrections would be made and I would then start making monthly payments. But Nelnet reported 90 days delinquent on loans as if I had 8 accounts with them knowing I have one loan account with a total loan balance combined into One ACCOUNT. This has affected my credit reports rating/ score from good standing to bad standing. Affected me emotional, economically financially and have prevented me from applying for federal jobs. Nelnet account XXXX is not a credit card loan as it is reported on my 3 credit reports. Student loan I have.

Consumer Complaint: Step 1 : What is this complaint about? I complained about Nelnet a few months ago. I have an existing account with CFPB : XXXX. Step 2 : What type of problem are you having? I was not contacted that my income based repayment plan application was not received or offered assistance to complete the application even after they reported to CFBP that they received my complaint. Step 3 : What happened? I called Friday XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and spoke to XXXX or XXXX for 9 minutes about my income based repayment plan application. They told me that my income based repayment plan was not currently applied and that I never submitted the application. If you read my complaint you will note that I received an e-mail stating that I was approved for the income based repayment plan. Sure enough, I was offered and I accepted the one month forbearance which just catches up my account. The monthly payment of about {$1500.00} is too much for my income and my credit rating has gone down because of this! Step 4 : What company is this complaint about? Nelnet Step 5 : Who are the people involved? I have the usual contact by email but not on this issue. I spoke to XXXX or XXXX on Friday at XXXX for 9 minutes and explained what had happened and she gave me the one month forbearance. She said, we never received your application for income based repayment plan.

Consumer Complaint: Nelnet is showing that I have two late payments from 2014. My student loans have always been in deferment due to me being in school. I have contacted the loan company about these late payments. I informed them of me being enrolled at the time and explained that my loans should have still been in deferment. I was also in the process of getting my loans consolidated. These late payments are hurting my credit tremendously! I should not have any late payments. As I have stated i have always kept my loans in deferment.

Consumer Complaint: On X/XX/2017 I contacted my Federal Student Loan service provider, NELNET. I was attempting to obtain an amortization schedule. An amortization schedule is not available via their website and my Mortgage lender was requesting one. No one at NELNET was able to provide one. I spoke with XXXX XXXX at one of the east coast service center and she stated that she would not provide one even though they had them for their internal records. They advise that since they change my payment at anytime with a 30 day warning that the amortization schedule was not allowed to be released to me. As borrower I should be able to have this documentation for my records yet they refused to provide anything that could not be printed off their website.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX ( a Nelnet company ) is misrepresenting interest and principal balances on my student loans. The loans date back to XXXX and have significant accrued interest. XXXX, the original lender, sold the loans to XXXX in XXXX XXXX. My student loan interest expense was misstated for the XXXX tax year. I contacted XXXX immediately, but the issue remains unresolved despite several attempts on my part to get a resolution ... most recently through CFPB. For reference, my final XXXX statement shows that as of XXXX XXXX of XXXX loan balance on my account, XXXX was principal and the remainder interest. In our most recent exchange through this website, Nelnet has refused to acknowledge the issue.
