About 188,000 student loan customers nationwide of Nelnet Inc. of Lincoln 
may be affected by a lost computer tape that contains their personal 
information.

Nelnet said it is notifying its customers, as well as other lenders whose 
customers may be affected, that the tape can't be located. The tape, 
according to Nelnet, was in the possession of United Parcel Service. It 
included data on loans serviced by Nelnet that were previously serviced by 
the College Access Network between Nov. 1, 2002, and May 31 of this year.

Nelnet said it had no reason to believe the information has been used 
inappropriately and that it had not received reports of unauthorized 
activity.

UPS conducted "an exhaustive investigation" and could not locate the 
shipment but also found no indication that the package had left UPS's 
control, Nelnet said.
