Nelnet Student Loan Complaint

Federal student loan servicing Dealing with my lender or servicer Trouble with how payments are handled Maine

Prior to -/-/2013, I was submitting student loan payments manually via NelNet.com to my loan servicer, NelNet. In -/-/2013 I set up auto-debit. Because the auto debit would take time to take effect, I was told to submit a final payment manually via nelnet.com, I did. My loan was never delinquent during this time, this has been confirmed by NelNet. However, NelNet put my loan into forbearance without my request, and despite my loan payments being up to date. They redisclosed my loan and my monthly payments rose by a small amount. I have been paying them since 2013. I noticed this recently, and called NelNet. After they assigned a specialist to look at my case, they agreed to retroactively to remove the forbearance that occurred back in 2013, acknowledging that this forbearance was unnecessary ( it was never requested, and never applicable, because my loan never went into delinquency - it as a technicality that occurred as a result of me setting up auto debit ) but they WILL NOT retroactively adjust for the redisclosure that was triggered by the forbearance. Therefore, I have had a higher principle balance that I have been paying diligently for 3 years. My loan servicer put my loan into forbearance despite my on-time payments, and redisclosed my loan without giving me an explanation as to why this was happening. My monthly payments rose due to a technicality from me setting up auto-debit, and they failed to notice this or resolve it. I had the best of intentions by setting up auto-debit, and was penalized by NelNet.
