Complaint narrative:
Thousands of students were scammed by Navient into taking out predatory private loans to attend for profit schools such as the one I attended, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

As a matter of fact, XXXX XXXX XXXX and their Parent company, XXXX were investigated by the Attorneys General of several states and have been found to have acted in a fraudulent manner. 

Due to the numerous claims of fraud and misconduct perpetrated by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has just announced a blanket discharge for anyone enrolled at XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 

My Federal loans in the amount of {$65000.00} plus interest were XXXX via the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX case but were eligible to be XXXX under the XXXX XXXX  recent actions as well. 
I am aware that Navient was sued by XXXX state AGs regarding their predatory loans to attend these online for-profit schools and that Sallie Mae/Navient were a " preferred '' lending company in a " deal '' with these schools during the early XXXX 's. 

These private loans with a high risk of default were part of a package deal offered to " for profit schools '', but loans made to students in states outside of the agreement, or those who were not in default for 7 months or more during a " specific '' time frame, were excluded. 

I am sure this was a big win for Navient, but what a sham of a settlement deal for the rest of borrowers scammed into taking loans to at least XXXX for profit schools. 

After the XXXX settlement, didn't Navient also get out of the XXXX student loan business due to scrutiny from lawmakers and borrower advocates? 

Didn't Navient have to pay restitution to the XXXX student loan borrowers for not informing students of XXXX XXXX XXXX could have enrolled in, but instead steered toward forbearance? 

Furthermore, hasn't Navient been sued at least a half dozen times for other predatory loan practices and illegal collection practices? 

I am also aware of a " pilot '' program by which Navient is sending out " applications '' to select students who may have filed XXXX XXXX claims against their schools and were approved. 

This application is a sham. 

Why do we need to prove anything? Navient knows who we are. 

Under the FTC " XXXX XXXX '' Navient is liable for giving predatory loans in connection with online for-profit schools. 

XXXX is running out for Navient to do right by students who were scammed into taking out private loans to attend online for profit colleges who have committed misconduct and misrepresented themselves to the public to entice students to enroll. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX has sent a letter to Navient 's CEO asking to discharge these loans NOW! It's time Navient do the right thing and discharge all these predatory private loans made to attend online for profit schools NOW!
