Nelnet Student Loan Complaint

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer need information about my balance/terms

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Need information about my balance/terms Minnesota

Firstmark Services manages several groups of student loans. They do not provide a history of monthly principle balances, nor will they upon request. They will also not mail this information to me. I believe they are mismanaging the principle amount and accruing interest on my loans. They also have made it exceedingly difficult to pay in excess of the minimum payments as I see fit. That is, they deliberately split large payments to spread across my multiple loans, so as to have the smallest impact on principal balance, despite multiple requests to the contrary. I have written, emailed, and spoken to representatives several times in an attempt to resolve these issues and obtain the requested information, and each time am provided with no updates, nor are the changes I request implemented. I believe they are managing loans in a bad faith fashion, and deliberately hindering the repayment process. Further, their website was recently updated and has been riddled with issues impacting the ability of fiscally responsible loan recipients to manage their debt. For instance, statements are not generated unless there is a balance due. However, I pay the loans and a frequency exceeding the time for which a balance would be generated. I therefore am unable to see the principle balance as affected following each payment. As an actuary, I find that the calculations for balances as calculated by myself, do not coincide with the balances generated by Firstmark Services.
