Consumer Narrative
I have had a federal student loan and is being serviced by Nelnet. The loan was discharged through debt relief. I received a notification on XX/XX/23 from credit agency XXXX, stating there is an update on my report. I review my credit report and noticed the student loan was closed however there is a negative rating stating loan is 90 days late which my score to decrease and a negative rating in XXXX score. I contacted Nelnet and the rep state they are in the process of updating the information and that was all they can do. I stated that they have ruined my score and they did not help me at all. On XX/XX/23 I received another alert from XXXX credit agency, stating there is an alert on my credit report and when I reviewed the report, it stated there is a 90 day late rating and my score dropped XXXX points as of this incorrect information. I contacted Nelnet and spoke with the supervisor and all she did was make excuses and try to deflect the situation in another direction, asking me to call the reporting agencies and file all sorts of disputes. The supervisor was not helpful and i was very upset and began to argue, she then disconnected the phone call. This is in violation of the fair credit act the Nelnet is liable up to {$1000.00} for every violation. They had damaged my credit report and ruined my credit score. I am in the middle of obtaining a home loan and dealing with financial concerns which require me to have a high credit score and due to this error by Nelnet, I will have big monetary loses due to Nelnet 's fraudulent activity. Nelnet is a fraud servicing company and has been performing this type of actions with my other friends as well. I need to have this corrected immediately. Thank you, XXXX XXXX. XXXX Nelnet XXXX
