Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

I have a federal student loan through NAVIENT. I have been making payments for the last 3 years without missing a payment. I was offered a lower repayment plan 2 years into my loan which I took, because I was reassured my interest would not be raised and my total loan repayment amount would not increase. Basically a week ago I find out that after 3.5 years of payments towards my original $ XXXX student loan, the loan had decreased ONLY {$250.00} to an updated principal balance of {$25000.00}. AFTER PAYING $ XXXX TO NAVIENT OVER XXXX YEARS MY LOAN BALANCE DECREASED {$250.00}! I called/emailed them to find an explanation, and after multiple attempts to dodge the situation I got in touch with a " manager ''. She told me that she looked into the recorded phone call I had with them and that I was indeed given wrong information but there was nothing Navient could do about it because of some " rules and regulations '' document they claimed they mailed me. She said that for the majority of the time of my loan, over 3 years, XXXX % of my payments was going to interest and only XXXX % towards interest. All in all my $ XXXX student loan would take $ XXXX to pay back ( I have this in writing and over a recorded call with Navient ). I told her how unacceptable that is and she said theres nothing she can do because I signed up for the " graduated payment plan '' even though a Navient employee told me wrong information on it regarding interest/life of loan ( again, she admitted and recognized that I was told my interest would remain the same and that I would be paying the same amount over 10 years just in graduated increments- all of which was completely false ). She said she was sorry about the misrepresentation of the plan but that it was on me. 

Please call me with any questions as I want to help my situation as well as take down this corrupt company.

On my payment schedule it listed my payment as being set to increase XX/XX/XXXX, but actually had this higher amount on my XX/XX/XXXX statement. My statements had been {$180.00} and were suddenly increased to {$190.00} on XX/XX/XXXX with no notification, even though my account has a repayment schedule set to increase to his amount specifically on XX/XX/XXXX. I was concerned at first, and these were exacerbated by the slew of recent lawsuits against this company.

I took out student loans starting in XXXX, I finished school in XXXX, I was not able to find a decent job, and the calls and letters started coming.

I now owe approximately XXXX in loans, I am XXXX years old, I am currently working as a temporary employee making {$XXXX} an hour. If I could go back I would not have taken out these loans. At the time I was under the impression I would get a good job and be able to pay them later in life. I borrowed like XXXX, that I may never be able to repay, the interest brings it up to near XXXX. I will always be in debt. I even tried getting state and government jobs, because I heard I would n't have to pay them back, but I have had no luck there. I ca n't answer my phone, I feel like I am always hiding from the collectors.

My monthly payments were extremly high. I asked to have my loan payments lowered since I could not afford what they were asking me to pay back a month and my credit was being distroyed. They said the could get my loan to under {$100.00} a month if I filled out and submotted all the proper paperwork. I did that and my loan amount never changed. When I contacted Navient, they kept telling me about more paper work I needed to file and never got my payments lowered.

Company: SLM CORPORATION (CA)

I have made every single payment on time. I have tried to get them to lower the interest rate ( it 's at 9.75 % ),. The last time I called them, they said there was nothing they could do, they could not refinance my loan, even though I 've paid every singe payment on time for the last 4 years. The gentleman I spoke to said the only way I could get the nterest rate lowered was to " be late on a payment, and then COLLECTIONS will call you, then you can negotiate with them about refinancing ''. Why do I have to go to collections before I can be considered for refinancing? I have a XXXX credit score, there is NO REASON for my interest rate to remain 9.75 %. It will take me XXXX more years to pay off my loan at that rate. Absolutely absurd.
