Consumer Narrative
I was contacted by XXXX XXXX by text message. I thought that the reason for the contact was to facilitate the sale of my loan from Great Lakes to Nelnet services which I was previously contacted about by Great Lakes. The person XXXX XXXX asked me questions to fill out a form to mail to Nelnet. This form contained the charging of a fee of {$290.00} dollars by electronic automatic debit and auto-payment of my Student Loan of {$49.00} dollars a month for the duration of the loan which was emailed to me when completed. I was to create a hard copy and mail it to Nelnet which I did. The next day I received from FSA an email entitled " Suspicious Activity on Your Student Loan Account ". Upon getting this email I called Nelnet to find out what the consequences of the application I sent to them was. They told me on the phone that the application was received and rejected because it was " incomplete ''. I directed them to void it and put a note on my account to reject any other contact with the company XXXX XXXX. I also called FSA to find out if any information was requested to be changed or new loans created on their end. Thankfully nothing was changed. They told me that the password was changed and for me to change it to something that only I knew because XXXX XXXX most likely still knew it.
