what you describe is very unusual. I wonder whether you are applying too much pressure: if you are used to ballpoint pens, you have to make an effort to write with almost no pressure on the paper. A properly adjusted nib will write with just the pressure caused by the weight of the pen.
My advice:
1. Make sure the nib is properly set into the section
2. try and write with a very light pressure
If things don't work out, please read my article on how to tweak nibs on the Home Page.
If the nib is damaged, you can get a replacement: they are easy to swap, since they screw into the section.
Let us know if you resolve the problem!
