Consumer Narrative
My loan through Great Lakes borrowing service was recently transferred to the likes of Nelnet. I added my bank information to set up autopay. I also decided to pay down a sizeable chunk to shorten my timeline. After several days, I noticed no sum was deducted from my account. I logged back into my account to find that the payment was listed as " last payment received '' with the correct amount, but there was no history, record, or paper trail of the transaction. As my auto debit was due, I saw that too was reclassified as " processing, '' only to find two days later that it was canceled by Nelnet. All information regarding my banks was correct -- I wouldn't have been able to get as far as I did if it wasn't -- but this company has the inability to process a payment while allowing interest to accumulate. I am fundamentally unable to pay off my loan to a servicer who refuses to accept my money. Further, upon logging in, I can NOW view my Nelnet account, consisting of : - No due date available - No recent activity ( i.e. payments ) - No available repayment status - {$0.00} current balance - The amount of my formerly active auto debit listed as received - My contact information, listed under the name " null null '' I am currently on hold going on 90 minutes as well. There does not appear to be any sort of recourse for a late or unreceived payment, as this company seems not UNDERstaffed, but UNstaffed.
