Consumer Narrative
I made a request with Nelnet back in XX/XX/2022 to receive a refund of all payments that I made during the pandemic, a total of {$5900.00}. I have called Nelnet multiple times to check on the status of this refund, of which I have only received a single check for {$1.00}. I have been waiting approx 6 months and getting vague responses with no genuine concern for the delay. I have also XXXX emails that are just copy/pasted with the same vague and unhelpful response. Beyond that... nothing. I do not feel that they are concerned with my request and I'm incredibly frustrated. Nelnet has records of these payments. I even had customer service check their records on the total I am owed just to confirm -- so they are fully aware of how much I am to be refunded and how long it's been taking. I was told that my refund request would be passed on to a supervisor but unfortunately have still seen no " escalation ''. I have decided to make a formal complaint as I feel I've waited patiently for far longer than I was promised ( initially XXXX weeks, but now I've waited for 20+ weeks! ) and I am desperate for results. Half a year for a refund does not seem acceptable whatsoever.
