Your Liability for Unauthorized Transactions, Reporting and Disputing Errors
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transactions.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission, or if you believe your access device has been stolen. Telephoning us is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account. If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of the unauthorized electronic fund transfer or theft of your access device, you can lose no more than $50.
If you do NOT tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of the unauthorized electronic fund transfer or theft of your access device, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from making an unauthorized electronic fund transfer if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by code or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was made available to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
Error Resolution Notice.In case of errors or questions about your electronic fund transfers, contact us as soon as you can by telephoning us at 800-446-4190 or emailing us at Deposits@NelnetBank.com, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. When contacting us for such purposes, we ask that you:
– Tell us your name and Account number (if any);
– Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and
– Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error. If you tell us orally, we also require that you send us your complaint or question in writingIf you tell us orally, we also require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) Business Days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we do not receive your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) Business Days, we may not credit your Account.
For errors involving new Accounts (an Account is considered to be a new Account for the first thirty (30) days after opening or after funds are deposited into the Account, whichever occurs later), or for foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) Business Days to credit your Account for the amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within three (3) Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. -
