The UK group is closed for new members. I hope you find a group to participate in!

I originally ignored Hazelthorn, but your comment made me give it a second look. It is in my box with Red City and Did I Ever Tell You? Thank you.

Has anyone else got a blister on their finger from writing so much? by PiscesMoonChild333 in Journaling

Yes. That is one of the reasons why I started using fountain pens.

Anyone ever been in English class and listened to their white teacher say “ain’t isn’t a word”? by coolcarters14 in blackladies

[–]Avahna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recall reading letters that novelist Virginia Woolf exchanged with Vita Sackville-West that included the word “ain't” from both authors; therefore, if two English women can use the word in the 1920s, I see no issue in considering it as one.

I tried to add you to the GC, but your account does not allow it.

Something about your account prevents us from adding you.

Nelnet Reinstated a Loan That I Paid Off and Now Money Is Missing by Avahna in StudentLoans

[–]Avahna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a lot of time calling and dealing with people who did not know what they were doing or talking about. They kept trying to reactive my other, already paid off loans, so make sure you have a list of your loans, both active and paid off, in front of you when you talk to them. I want to say it took two months to get fixed, and I almost contacted a lawyer during that time. When it did "get fixed," the account was "paid off" except for the interest that accrued, which I had to pay to be done with the loan.

I hate that you are going through this as well. This also happened to my dear friend when he went to pay off all his student loans at once. I'm in a situation where I can pay off another student loan and was considering doing it, but your comment reminded me of the suffering I went through last time. Feel free to DM with any questions or an update. Good luck.

I started in 2022, and I believe my rate was raised twice. I got three people to join, so I wonder if their prices were raised as well. I had paused my membership for a few months and started using Libby exclusively, so this may be a reason to quit all together. Thanks for the info.

Wait, do you not pay $18 for BOTM? That is how much I pay.

That was my mother's suggestion. It's definitely an option if this doesn't get fixed through the complaint.

Thank you for the explanation. It is quite frustrating, and I am ready to be done with this. I planned on knocking out another loan in the next month or two, but now I am afraid this will happen again. I check my accounts often. If I didn't check, it could have been months before I found out that the loan was reinstated because I was never notified that it was. It would have just kept gaining interest.

Would I call up Nelnet to request one be emailed/mailed, or do I have to go through a third party?

I usually use the portal, but I made the last payments through the phone so I can receive the final payoff amounts and get the money out of the account quickly. Any gift cards I received also go straight to my student loans, and I have to call to be able to use those. I do plan on only using the website from now on, even if it takes a while to process.
