Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: NM
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I paid Navient off on XX/XX/XXXX. I ended up overpaying by {$480.00} and they said they would refund the money in a form of a check in about a month because they do not send electronically. I no longer gave them permission to draft from my account since loan was paid in full. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Navient because I still had not received the check. They said to give it ten more days. When I went home, the check was in the mailbox ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, they stopped payment on the check and took {$480.00} from my bank account along with {$5.00} for stopped payment. 

I contacted my bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and they thought I stopped the payment. I contacted Navient on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that I emailed them and asked to get an refund electronically. I spoke with them on XX/XX/XXXX and questioned why I could not get it electronically but never emailed them and requested that they stop any check. 

I asked on XX/XX/XXXX to speak with a supervisor and at first was told the call volume was to high. I said I will wait. I emailed Navient with a complaint and then shortly after that a supervisor came on line. I was told that. my refund was already in the process of being sent electronically and I should see it in my bank today. So far it is not even pending. THEY LIED TO ME. 

I am on the phone with them now ( XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX Mountain Time ) and the representative does not appear to know anything about yesterday. I am on hold for a supervisor. The representative told me I had to wait 13 days to get my money back. I told him NO-I was told yesterday that it would be put back today electronically that I have bills coming out. THEY DID NOT CARE AT ALL. They told me it was miscommunication-it was not miscommunication. They are from XXXX and appear to read from a script and do not appear to comprehend. 

I need help in getting my money back. 
My account number for Navient is XXXX The number I am still on hold with is XXXX I am asking to speak with a supervisor because the representative refuses to give me a confirmation number that my money is being returned. I was told to talk with my bank. I told him that my bank said to get a confirmation number- that they have one. Now the representative is saying they do not have one that it is in the back. I told him to go get it from the back. No supervisor has come on to help me. I am back on hold again. I told them I was making a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and they do not see to care. 

I do not know how long I will be on hold so I will finish the complaint. 

A supervisor just came on the line ( XXXX ) and said that I should receive my money back into my account in 24 hours and gave me a confirmation number. This happened after I said I was on line with The Consumer Protection Agency filing a complaint.

Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I am writing to address a serious issue that has arisen subsequent to the formal transfer of ownership of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2023. As per our agreement, XXXX XXXX assumed exclusive ownership and full accountability for all associated business responsibilities, including debts and financial matters. 

Regrettably, despite this transfer of ownership, I have encountered substantial complications. XXXX XXXX has continued to incur business-related credit obligations in my name, disregarding the terms of our agreement. Efforts to secure legal indemnification through my legal counsel have been met with complete non-responsiveness from XXXX XXXX. 

The situation has escalated to the extent that I am now receiving bank statements and demands for payment related to accounts and credit cards that are no longer under my ownership or responsibility. Moreover, XXXX XXXX has utilized my name for personal expenses, unrelated to the business, including meals and travel charges. To exacerbate matters, he has closed the account without settling the outstanding debt, leaving creditors pursuing me, as I was the primary account holder before the business transfer. 

Despite continuous attempts to communicate since XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX has failed to respond to any outreach from myself or my legal representative. This lack of cooperation and communication impedes my ability to rectify these financial discrepancies and fulfill the agreed-upon terms of separation from all business affairs associated with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I am urgently seeking resolution and legal separation from XXXX XXXX, as mutually agreed upon in our transfer agreement dated XX/XX/2023. My primary objective is to disentangle myself from any ongoing business affairs and associated debts. I implore your immediate attention and assistance in facilitating a swift and equitable resolution to this distressing situation. 

Please consider this matter with the utmost urgency and provide guidance on the appropriate course of action to achieve the desired legal separation and resolution of outstanding financial liabilities.
