Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I have sent a certified green receipt letter requesting for Nelnet to validate all 18 of my loans that they have with their servicing company. The received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX, I also included in my letter the laws that the company has to abide by with verify my loans for all 18 loans. They sent me a generic form letter which I have a copy of saying everything is accurate and verified, sent to by mail XX/XX/XXXX. How can servicers company verify 18 different loans, that are dated back as far as XXXX? I have also disputed with the credit report agencies asking them to validate the debt and getting no answers. They have received my second and final letter advising that their 30 days will expire on XX/XX/XXXX and I am requesting that they delete all 18 accounts of all XXXX reporting agencies. This company is not following the new laws that you CFPB put in place when validation of a debt is requested. I am going off Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulation F subpart B 1006.34 Notice for validation of debts. ( a ) Validation information required. ( 1 ) In general. Except as provided in paragraph ( a ) ( 2 ) of this section, a debt collector must provide a consumer with the validation information required by paragraph ( c ) of this section either : I am going off your laws ( CFPB ) and requesting information from this company only to receive a letter saying verify and nothing unless that the law said they are required to send.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. I have been patiently waiting on their response to the written requests I sent. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end. They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as wilful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Subissue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a {$15000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a student loan to be used to finance the New York State Bar Exam preparatory course and exam fees. The application and note both read as a master student loan. The interest rate on this loan has increased each year and is now currently at 10.5 %. To date, I have already paid {$16000.00} on this {$15000.00} loan, and still have a principal balance due of {$13000.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to student loan refinance companies to attempt to refinance this loan to lower the interest rate and monthly payments. Both attempts have been declined because this loan, which is currently serviced by Firstmark Services, is being inaccurately reported on my credit report as a personal loan and not a student loan. When I reached out to Firstmark about getting this corrected, as it is not only impacting my ability to refinance, but also my credit score per XXXX, they responded by saying the loan is " not reported as a student loan and is also listed like this in the promissory note and disclosure documents. '' After review of the promissory note, which clearly states it is a " Master Student Loan Promissory Note '', I reached back out to Firstmark, who has yet to correct the issue on my credit, leading to another denial of my refinance application.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Keep getting calls about your loan

Consumer Complaint: I spoke with " XXXX '' on XX/XX/XXXX about my Student Loan through Nelnet. This was after several call and emails starting in XX/XX/XXXX about " my Loans being x days behind '' despite the Student Loan payment suspension until XX/XX/XXXX, the most recent notice is that I am 90 days behind which would indicate I haven't made a payment since XX/XX/XXXX, which is during the Covid payment suspension extension passed in XX/XX/XXXX. The main issue with this is that my Loans were claimed under hardship in a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy in XXXX. Nelnet was informed of this is XXXX, they have records confirming this. When I spoke to XXXX today ( and after a little research on XXXX 's end ) I was told that the Guarantor on this account ( my Bankruptcy trustee ) shows the debt as paid in full, but Nelnet re-purchased my Loans and made them active again? or that because the Guarantor shows them as active accounts they can still collect on them, despite being paid off? I didn't really get a clear answer, however I was told that either way I needed to prove they had been paid off or be put on an IDRP.. which in my opinion isn't my responsibility because Nelnet was informed when I filed bankruptcy, informed again by Phone when they called me in XXXX and the Agent confirmed the bankruptcy, were informed when said bankruptcy was discharged and they only started calling me AFTER it had been discharged... If they can see the Loans are paid off in bankruptcy, how is it legal to attempt to collect it AGAIN from the Student.. during a payment freeze?
