Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan
Sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

Complaint:
I received a notification that I was included in a Class action Lawsuit and I could expect relief from any future payments to this institution ( Navient student loan providers ). 
This was to take effect in XXXX. 
Navient continues to demand payment, of which I had agreed to making minimum payments of {$75.00} per month. 
I inquired as to why my student loan is still being collected on after receiving notification stating that it would be dismissed and should expect repayment for a portion of the payments I have made in the past and was told my loan was from a private institution and doesn't qualify. 
I don't understand, after receiving notifications that I qualified, that Navient could state that I don't. 
I would appreciate a clarification as to why I don't. 
I meet all the criteria as outlined in the description of the lawsuit. What am I missing?

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the multiple attempts I have made to rectify the fraudulent items on my credit file. I believe that my case has not been given the attention and resolution it deserves, and I am compelled to file a formal complaint. 

I first became aware of unauthorized and fraudulent entries on my credit report. Since then, I have diligently followed the proper procedures by submitting detailed dispute letters, providing evidence of the fraudulent activities, and requesting a thorough investigation into the matter. Despite my persistent efforts, I have encountered a lack of responsiveness and effectiveness in addressing this serious issue. 

The fraudulent items on my credit file are adversely affecting my credit score and financial well-being. I have attached copies of the supporting documents, including but not limited to police reports, affidavits, and any correspondence related to the fraudulent activities. It is disheartening that despite the submission of this evidence, the inaccurate information remains on my credit report. 

I understand that credit reporting agencies play a crucial role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of consumers ' credit information. However, the repeated failures to rectify the fraudulent entries in a timely manner have not only caused undue stress but also have potential long-term consequences on my financial stability. 

I am seeking your immediate attention to this matter and request a comprehensive and expedited review of my case. I insist on a thorough investigation into the fraudulent items and a prompt removal of the inaccurate information from my credit report. Additionally, I would appreciate regular updates on the progress of the investigation and the steps being taken to resolve this issue. 

If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter, I am prepared to escalate this matter to the appropriate regulatory authorities and seek legal counsel to protect my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MO XXXX XXXX
