Consumer complaint received 2019-01-03
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (OH)

My complaint is about Navient. 

I am a resident physician who took out money for medical school. I am now a second-year resident so this is my second year paying on the loan. I have to be on an income-based repayment plan because my income ( ~ $ XXXX ) can not possibly make the payment on my > {$200000.00} student loan. As a result of being on the income-based repayment plan, Navient forces me to re-demonstrate my income every year to re-qualify. In order to accomplish this re-demonstration ( which is a useless exercise anyway because my income barely increases annually and that number is set years ahead of time for all residency programs and it is published online ), they sent a single non-descript email on XX/XX/2018. The email does not include any indication that it might contain such a re-authorization requirement. I have attached the email with my information redacted. In order to receive the contents of the email we are required to follow the link, login, and click on a pdf link that may or may not be the most recent message ; that is easy to overlook when you get 50 emails, this one contains nothing but a link, and there is no way to tell which message on the Navient website this email is connected to. BTW, I have four post-graduate college degrees and this is not straightforward. 

Of note, Navient does not include additional reminders. They do not include an email saying anything relevant at all. In fact, all Navient emails are essentially hidden until you conduct the separate login. Then, after that single email, they emailed me in XX/XX/XXXX to say that my payment would be increasing to {$2600.00} a month. Obviously, I can not afford that while I make {$50000.00} a year. They do give me the chance to fix the problem by going back on the income-based plan. I submitted all of the information to get back to the same income-based repayment program I was previously that is currently pending. 

However, despite staying on the same payment plan and having no lapses in my payments, Navient capitalized my interest. Apparently, that is their policy. If people do not re-authorize their loan in a pre-specified window of time, Navient capitalizes their interest. In my case, that capitalization was approximately {$6000.00}. So now I am getting compounded interest around 6 % on another {$6000.00}. In other words, I get to pay an extra {$30.00} a month for the duration of my loan. All because I missed a single non-descript email. 

I am wondering what the value of such a policy for the government that I borrowed money from? That is, why would Navient be allowed to steal a huge amount of money due to missing an arbitrary re-authorization date despite staying on the exact same repayment plan. It seems like a scam. We are basically borrowing money from our own government and Navient is being allowed to skim money off the top.

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

I make an over payment of {$50.00} to {$100.00} per month. Then I started getting statements that read as this, example - received a statement on XX/XX/XXXX, You have {$0.00} due XX/XX/XXXX but current amount due is {$230.00} by XX/XX/XXXX. I made a payment as if I had a payment due in XXXX to continue paying ahead. I received by XX/XX/XXXX statement. Again, {$0.00} due XX/XX/XXXX but current amount due is {$230.00} by XX/XX/XXXX. I again made a payment as if I had a payment due for XXXX. I received a statement for XX/XX/XXXX, now it says I have a payment due {$230.00} due XX/XX/XXXX. I should be paid ahead. Are my extra payments going to principal. I feel that I am over paying and they are misrepresenting my money going to my student loan. I spent 45 minutes on the phone explaining this. He first told me that I was looking at the statements incorrectly. Finally at the end, he stated that my next payment isn't actually due until XX/XX/XXXX and he asked if I wanted my over payment to the principal. What is going on here?

Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC (TX)

XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau I am writing to file a formal complaint against Aldous & Associates P.L.L.C. for their failure to provide me with a debt validation letter as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I was contacted by Aldous & Associates P.L.L.C. regarding a debt they claim I owe. Despite their initial communication, I have yet to receive a written validation notice detailing the specifics of the debt within the five-day period mandated by the FDCPA. 

I have diligently awaited the validation letter to verify the accuracy of the debt and to understand my rights and options regarding its resolution. However, Aldous & Associates P.L.L.C. has failed to fulfill this legal obligation. 

This failure to provide the required validation notice has left me in a state of uncertainty regarding the validity of the debt and my obligations concerning it. I believe that Aldous & Associates P.L.L.C. 's actions are in violation of the FDCPA. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action againstAldous & Associates P.L.L.C. for their non-compliance with federal debt collection laws. Additionally, I urge you to ensure that Aldous & Associates P.L.L.C. provides me with the necessary validation letter without further delay. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt investigation and resolution.
