Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (TN)

Many students, including myself, were misled by Navient, formerly Sallie Mae, into securing predatory private loans to fund education at for-profit online institutions, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX I attended from XXXX to XXXX with an original principal loan amount of {$25000.00}. Despite having paid {$84000.00} towards this loans, my current balance stands at {$13000.00} due to an exorbitant interest rate, which currently is 16 %. 

Notably, XXXX XXXX XXXX  was subject to investigations by various state attorneys general and found to have engaged in deceptive practices. In response to widespread allegations of fraud and misconduct by XXXX XXXXXXXX and their predatory lending practices with Sallie Mae. One of my loans was part of this lawsuit, while the other was not due to having a co-signer, which Navient just released and removed from the loan. The AG lawsuit led to one of my loans, from XXXX XXXXXXXX and for the same Associates degree as the remains loan left, with over {$80000.00} discharged.

Navient, which was sued by the attorneys general of 39 states for its role in facilitating these predatory loans, had a specific arrangement with for-profit schools during the XXXX XXXX, making it a " preferred '' lender. Despite this, the settlement terms provided by Navient were considerably inadequate, excluding many borrowers who took loans for attendance at approximately 150 for-profit online schools, unless they resided in certain states or had not defaulted for at least seven months during a specified period. This loan was in forbearance for many months following the years of graduating. 

The only period during which I managed to reduce the principal amount was during the pandemic, when interest rates were temporarily lowered to between 0.5 % and 1 %. However, once the regular interest rates resumed, my balance skyrocketed again. This financial strain, coupled with the emotional stress and damage to personal relationships, has been overwhelming. 

Moreover, Navient exited the federal student loan servicing business amidst legislative and advocacy scrutiny, following allegations of steering borrowers away from income-driven repayment plans towards forbearance, an action for which they had to provide restitution. 

Navient has also faced multiple lawsuits for other predatory lending and illegal collection practices. Currently, Navient is distributing " applications '' to select students who may qualify for Borrower Defense claims against their schools. However, this process feels unnecessary and opaque, as Navient is already aware of the affected students. 

Under the FTC 's " Holder Rule, '' Navient is accountable for these predatory loans issued in association with for-profit online schools. As time is critical, XXXX XXXX XXXX has urged Navients CEO to immediately discharge these loans. It is crucial for Navient to take responsible action now by discharging all s

I have always paid my mortgage two weeks early, I have been receiving letters monthly going back to XXXX? Stating that I was late. Obviously this was a major concern for myself. I called, talked about the issue, and was told it was resolved ( They received it early, suggested I pay it later in the month to fix the issue - it was applied as a principal only payment ). I started mailing my payments on the XXXX instead of the XXXX. This has happened every month since then and no one seems to be able to resolve the issue for me. I keep getting " My manager is n't available - they 'll call you back '' " I 'll call you before the end of the day '' " I 'll send you an email today no matter what to give you a status update ''. The issue right now is that I 'm " late '' on paying the late fee from paying early ; the same late fee I 've been told has been taken care of on multiple occasions. I also requested a corrected XXXX that showed my proper interest paid as the value on my XXXX is incorrect for 2015. 

At this point I do n't trust any of their accounting for my mortgage ; and no one is getting back to me or resolving my issue. I have spoken with McCue Mortgage on XXXX occasions at this point.

I started my disputes with experian back on XX/XX/2020. I put in a dispute for a XXXX account, a XXXX XXXX, and XXXX  XXXX XXXX. These accounts were reported " Verified ''. Previously to this i had reached out to these companies and they were not able to provide me with any information on either of these accounts.I reached out to all three bureaus to investigate why these accounts were showing on my report and I asked each company to investigate this matter. XXXX  and XXXX  notified me within 30 days of their investigation that they could not get any information either and the 3 accounts were deleted from my file. I filed the same dispute in XXXX with experian and as I stated above it came back suprisingly " verified and reporting accurately ''. I found this to be unusual so I requested information from these companies that I was informed by the FTC commission ( I wrote it down ) that under section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) and 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) I could request the original documents that they had on file from these companies and the results of investigation ( section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) which I still have not received. These accounts are still reporting from experian and no one has given me any documentation of what I asked for. I received a response today XX/XX/2020. That under section 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( a ) they could not honor my request. I was very specific in my letter and what I asked for. I spoke with a rep and he told me that I was not allowed to ask for that information and that they did not have to provide it and that I must go to the creditor and ask for it. I did that back in XX/XX/2020 and was unsuccessful. Because they did not provide me with the requested documentation section 611 ( 5 ) ( a ) says that it has to be deleted. ( Yes I read this information provided by the ftc ). I refuse to be deceived in their tactics to not properly do their jobs. How can 2 bureaus find nothing but experian says something different? If the creditors reported the accounts to all three then they should have all been given the same information and removed from all 3 bureaus.
