Nelnet Loses Student Loan Data

If you're new here and like what you read, you may want to subscribe to my email alerts or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Nelnet, Inc. (based in Nebraska) has lost a backup data tape which contained personal information of about 188,000 students and former students mostly from Colorado schools.

The tape was part of a UPS shipment that disappeared recently on its way from Colorado to Austin, Texas. It included detailed student loan information such as Social Security numbers and other account-related details.

The tape included data on loans serviced by Nelnet that were previously handled by the College Access Network between Nov. 1, 2002, and May 31 of this year, affecting every college in Colorado except Colorado State University in Fort Collins and University of Colorado at Boulder.

Affected Nelnet customers can call them at 1-800-552-7925 or visit their website.
