Consumer Narrative
I requested a switch to the SAVE plan in XXXX, XXXX, and filled out the requisite form on Nelnet 's website. I have not received any updates or correspondence from them since. Three weeks ago, I logged into my account at Nelnet and saw a notice ( attached below ) that they can not process my application unless I pay a fee. However, they do not state the amount owed or provide a means to pay this mystery fee. The notice says I should have received something by mail or email re : the amount due and how to pay it, but I have never received anything from them. I emailed Nelnet two weeks ago and requested clarification on this issue, but never received a response. Attempts to reach them by phone have proved futile due to hold times in excess of four hours with no call-back option. Presently, the Nelnet site says I don't have any payment obligation until XX/XX/XXXX, but that makes no sense. It says I have {$0.00} at this time despite the notification to the contrary ( the mystery fee ). According to posts on XXXX XXXX interest may be accruing during this time, yet I have no idea what amount I need to pay to cover my interest each month.
