Nelnet Student Loans Reviews

This is a disfunctional  company. They mistakeingly consoladated  all of my sub and unsubed loans into unsubed. I did not notice this until about two years after the consoladation when I was calculating interest. I have about 30k in subed and only about 4 in unsubed. Trying to get them to fix this 6 mistake took almost six months and hundreds of hours of time dealing the the US Dept of Education  and many other bureaucrats. In the end they had to adjust over 2 thousand dollars worh of interest payments but only did so because thier mistate had to be explained by an out side agency. No credit damage but probaly spent more man hours than the adjustment was worth. I can't speak for the application process so i'm leaving that neutral. 

I was mislead to think that because I was going to gradschool that my loans would be sent into differment status. 2 weeks before the start of the semester my credit score was dropped literally 150 points from a 680. The initial rep had given me incorrect and misleading information. He left no notes on my account. I called to fix the situation and Veda team id # 37893 explained the reason. I understood when she went in to debth about the situation. However the representative's miscommunication for the initial issue was still showing on my credit report. She told me that "Nelnet does not do removals or participate in "goodwill policy"". Which was confusing because the last 2 reps said that they did, but it is not valid for my situation. I asked her if she could verify if it was because my situaition was agency error or is it something that Nelnet does not participate in at all. She said that it was something they can not do at all regardless of anyone's situation. 

I felt like I was being lied to and judged. Also that noone wanted to claim responsibility for the misinformaition given to me. I had no problem paying what I owed if I was not given the wrong information. I now fear that because of this major drop in my credit score a personal loan is no longer an option for my payment to continue my education. All of my hardwork is being tarnished because of miscommunication and someone refusing to accept responsibility.

Scum of the earth. This scammers, increased our interest rates twice in as many months. We strugled to pay off higher interest loans to lower how much they are ripping us off for, once we did, they increased the rate of the lowwer interest loans to screws even more. A blood sucking system and slime companies that take full advantage

Nelnet & their customer service made my loan repayment so easy. They explained my options and the processes very thoroughly and answered any questions I had, and did so with kindness. I had a couple issues during repayment, and as long as I called Nelnet and explained my situation they always helped me and made sure I never defaulted on my loans. Thank you Nelnet!

I wanted to pay the remainder of my entire student loan off. I contacted customer service and asked to be transferred to the right department (wherever I needed to go to talk to someone to pay it off). The Lady on the phone said "sure i'll help you out".. She wasn't helpful, she was rude, made me feel embarrassed about my job right out of college and the amount of my monthly payments.. And then FINALLY after all of this back and forth conversation, she says with an attitude "you need to be transferred I can't help you with this!". Oh my goodness. I don't remember her name but I'm willing to find out and post it everywhere when I get the chance.. Like was she bothered that I was able to have my loan paid off? Either way it's none of her business. I have never had anyone be this rude to me. It's not an enjoyable to be in debt and she made it even worse.

I'm in school and I have been fighting with them for the past 3 months because they say I'm not in school. My loans have entered the grace period. Finally, two of my loans got approve for an IN-school deferment, the rest got approved for a REGULAR deferment. OH NOT TO MENTION, THEY SAID I LOST MY GRACE PERIOD & MY SUBSIDISED LOANS WILL CONTINUE TO ACCRUE INSTEST ON THE LOANS THAT HAVE A REGULAR DEFERMENT. SCAM. SCAM. SCAM.
