Consumer Narrative
I applied for an Income Driven Repayment plan in XXXX on XXXX, the site ran by the Education Department and which transmits the applications to borrowers assigned servicers. My servicer is Nelnet. I was approved on studentaid.gov for the new SAVE plan, which subsidizes any difference between your monthly payment, as determined by the borrowers IDR plan, and the monthly accrued interest ( in the event that the interest is greater than the payment ). Nelnet has failed to approve my application. No one at the company can tell me when it will be approved. No one Ive talked to, after having to wait on hold for hours every time, seems to know ANYTHING about when this might start getting fixed. Meanwhile, interest started accruing again in XXXX. So far I have accumulated about {$2000.00} in interest. I AM UNABLE TO MAKE A PAYMENT ON THE SAVE PLAN BECAUSE NELNET HAS FAILED TO PROCESS MY APPLICATION, MEANING NONE OF MY INTEREST IS BEING SUBSIDIZED. Moreover, Nelnet put me on an administrative forbearanceDURING WHICH INTEREST STILL ACCRUESwithout my asking. So I have no payment due, meaning no payment to chalk up towards my interest, the difference between which is supposed to be being subsidized. So, Nelnet is effectively holding me over a barrel while I rack up interest because of their incompetence. I am financially bleeding profusely and its all Nelnets fault. Their actions are illegal and I will be suing if this isnt resolved.
