Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CA)

Approxima tely 2-3 y ears ago, I was experiencing financial hardship. I defaulted on my private student loans with Navient. I stopped paying because I could not afford to. When I was ready to start paying again, I contacte d Navient in a n effort to set right my wrong. This was appr ox. 1 and ha lf to 2 years ago now. I asked what do I need to pay today to set my accounts current and get out of default? They quoted my a very large number, I remember it was greater than {$3000.00}, but I do not know for sure as it was so long ago. I did not have this amount of money. I explained my situation and asked for more options, however none were given. The one option they gave me was to start paying my loans through a company called  XXXX   XXXX .  XXXX   XXXX  is a debt collector Navient uses to collect debt. I then contacted  XXXX   XXXX  as was told to me to do by Navient. They placed me into a low monthly payment, low-interest repayment plan for struggling borrowers. So for about 2 years now, I have been paying  XXXX   XXXX  {$120.00} per month, which is automatically taken from my account each month through direct deposit. I was under the assumption that everything is fine and that my monthly payments took me out of default and that my payments were being applied to my principal balance. Today,  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 , I was checking my credit report on  XXXX , as I am attempting to rebuild my life and credit. I notice that for almost two yea rs Navient ha s been reporting to the credit bureaus that I am not paying each month. Each month shows a red box marked " no pay ''. I was shocked by this, since I was under the assumption that I had been out of default with Navient for a long time. I called Navient on  XXXX / XXXX /   2017  and spoke to three different people all claiming that there is nothing to be done, and that if I wanted them to stop reporting me to the credit bureau that I need to pay the entire balance of {$21000.00}. I reminded them that I am trying to fix my credit and I am paying them each month through the only option they gave me, and they simply refused to detract the " no pays '' to the credit bureaus. I am at a loss and not sure where to go from here. I am not perfect and have made mistakes, but this practice does not sound lawful to me. Please let me know what I need to do to fight this. How can someone like me, a single mother, with no assets, and no help, ever get ahead when companies like this make it almost impossible? Thanks so much.

The discrepancies in the dates associated with the XXXX accounts are a breach of this obligation.
