After months of unsuccessfully dealing with Nelnet, I finally kicked their sorry butts to the curb. I would rather have kicked them somewhere else if you get my drift. Good riddance. Nelnet has tarnished my credit something bad by reporting past due amount each of the last 6 months even though I have been making my regular payment. Not only that, my principle balance has not gone down in 6 months. Nelnet is a bunch of incompetent thieves.
I applied for a consolidation loan with Direct Loan. It took Nelnet 3 months to send a payoff amount to Direct Loans. I knew they were useless morons before that, but that was the last nail in the coffin. Now that my student loan is with Direct Loan, I can see my principle balance going down with each monthly payment. On top of that, my interest rate was reduced by 1 percentage point.
I am currently fighting back and forth with Nelnet to try and get all of these late marks on my credit report removed. It’s an uphill battle with them, but I am not willing to give up to them.

I haven’t kickek Nelnet to the curb yet, but I am trying my hardest to pay them off early so that I don’t have to deal with them ever again.

Going from Nelnet to Direct Loans was a good move on my part. It has been one year now and I haven’t had any payment issues and am starting to see the balance come down finally.
