Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL)

XX/XX/2023 I started to pay my income driven student loans that I have been in for years. I have to now pay for my loans under this plan. I'm very concerned because my payment plan states that my payments should be {$220.00}. However when I went to pay my first payment my balance to pay stated {$510.00}. In fear that my payment would be late I paid the amount that website stated I had to pay. I called the company to complain why I have to pay, I were told it were optional. I told them I could not pay anything less and were told I had late fees. I told them my payments has always been deferred or in forbearance until I applied for the income driven loan payments. I were told I had over {$8000.00} extra I had to pay because of these late payments. I still were questioning everything regarding the fees and even told them that I were going to make a complaint and I were sent a letter to sign to waive {$250.00} late fee off my account. XX/XX/2023 I had {$1.00} and change payment due because they applied the extra I paid the month prior to XXXX bill and I were to pay the difference. I paid {$53.00} once again the website would not let me pay the balanced owed. I were told that I still have late fees. I called again because I were going to schedule my payment that is due for XX/XX/2023. There is a {$50.00} balance that I were told is late fees again that I paid last month still showing. I were told that they would waive the {$50.00} late fees off my account again I began to ask why is that still there and the website made me pay last month. They are defrauding their borrowers that put the late fees and when you pay the extra your not receiving any credit for paying those fees and making you pay more than what you are expected to pay. I want to know why I have to pay over {$8000.00} for late fees and my loans has all tis compound interest keep charging.
