Consumer Narrative
My student loans were recently transferred from XXXX XXXX to a company called Nelnet. Upon registering for this new loan service provider, I was taken to my 'account page '. Here is where my current contact info ( transferred from XXXX ), loan balances, and new monthly payment ( to start in XXXX ) were displayed. My new monthly loan payment being much higher than my last payment with absolutely no breakdown or explanation as to how Nelnet came up with this payment was the first red flag. Secondly, there is no history of previous payments on the loans that are now being carried by Nelnet. I went to the XXXX site and logged into my account there- no history of payments, communications, uploaded documents, etc were able to be found as they have been removed. This feels highly suspicious to me. Removing all documentation from the previous 5 years of payments from the XXXX site, and there being no record of transfer of that documentation to Nelnet seems, at least, unacceptable and, at most, predatory. I have reached out to both sites and have requested this be rectified or I will not be making payment on my student loans. I understand that CFPB is not at fault here, but it should be noted that this is a very sensitive time for student borrowers and actions like these do not instill confidence that student borrowers are not being taken advantage of. If you need any documentation from me, I am more than happy to provide everything I have and am willing to speak to whomever has questions for me.
