Consumer Narrative
My student loans were with Nelnet for many years. This year I applied for XXXX forgiveness and was granted it. Nelnet Transferred my loans to XXXX as part of this process in XXXX of 2023. My credit reports, after forgiveness, still show a balance on the NELNET loans of more than XXXX. XXXX is reporting, correctly, that these loans have a XXXX balance. I have disputed this through the XXXX bureaus. On the very first dispute, the wrong information was removed by XXXX, but both XXXX and XXXX state that the information is verified as correct by the Dept of Ed/Nelnet XXXX I disputed two more times with documentation, and continue to get the same response with no change to my reported balance. I have sent faxed copies of all of this, as outlined on their web site, to Nelnet. After over a month I sent it to them again. Weeks later I uploaded it directly on their site ( as instructed on their site ). As of today I have received no correspondence from Nelnet. The documentation I provided was the disputes themselves, Letters from both XXXX and Nelnet saying that the transfer and subsequent loan forgiveness happened, and screenshots from the studentaid.gov website showing a XXXX balance. I also sent them a copy of my NLDS text file. It is beyond frustrating that they keep " Verifying '' wrong information, and worse that I can not get a response from them. I also filled out a feedback complaint on studentaid.gov, and have not gotten a response to it either, after more than XXXX weeks. Can I sue Nelnet or the department of Education under FCPA? Maybe others are having this issue and we can launch a class-action lawsuit? Please help me resolve this matter as soon as possible, as it is a huge hit to the ratios on my credit, which negatively affects both my score and my purchasing power.
