Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Unfortunately I need to jump on the bandwagon to complain about collection policies of Navient Corp. Since being acquired from XXXX XXXX, this organization has repeatedly called home, work, cell phone numbers for me, my daughter, and my wife, regarding student loan payments advising we are delinquent, payments never processed, or partial payments missing, etc. We have and continue to make monthly payments as agreed to via their/our contract. We are not financially able to XXXX or XXXX our repayment amount, nor can we afford to make repeated duplicate payments when they misappropriate funds. Originally, we had selected an automatic payment withdraw from our bank account, which failed terribly as they made unscheduled withdraws for our bank account, leaving over-drafts on our account ; or the withdraw would not be registered to our account requiring us to make duplicate payments. We have since changed our payment to manual so we are able to process a monthly payment to record it has occurred on time. Almost daily we receive XXXX or more calls stating our account is delinquent - to the point this monotony has become harassing. I have repeatedly requested to speak to supervisors, or frankly, someone in a US office who can intelligently manage a call. My requests are ignored, and the individuals make threatening statements and hang up without resolving my questions. I know they will call again later in the day or next day, and the process repeats. This organization has damaged our credit ratings by identifying our payments are not current. We have requested written statements from this organization - they have NEVER sent any document from which we could coordinate a review. But the harassing calls continue. We teach our children the responsibility of securing loans to support college education, and reinforce the need to make timely and complete payments so they can move on in their lives after graduating with good credit ratings. This company has made the student loan repayment process a nightmare. Unfortunately I see multiple years of this nightmare ahead for my family as my daughter re-pays her obligations, and as my son XXXX in 2016, simply to begin his own torture. I have followed the potential lawsuit targeting Navient and applaud any efforts the CFPB makes toward resolving this lenders inappropriate actions.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
Please take the time to look into student loans and XXXX XXXX XXXX fraudulent practices of applying their students into predatory student loans knowing full well that majority of the students could not repay back those loans after graduation. I had emailed you on this issue a few years back and explained how after graduating from XXXX XXXX with a XXXX XXXX XXXX I was told that my degree from XXXX XXXX was worthless to any governmental agency : State and Federal because of the accreditation of the school. I owe close to {$100000.00} in student loans ( both government and private loans ), many of which are in default or placed on an Income-based repayment plan where my monthly payment is at {$0.00} per month because I can not afford to pay back these loans due to the high cost of living for me to provide for my family of XXXX. 

Most recently XXXX XXXX has been forced to shut down all its ' schools and is being sued by many states due to fraud practices on recruitment, student loans, etc. I had attended XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Nevada from XXXX - XXXX and graduated as XXXX. I attended school even throughout the economic crash, even through bankruptcy proceedings living off their promises to better opportunities of the future of starting anew and obtaining a better paying job to provide for my family. During the course of attending, XXXX XXXX 's Financial Representatives have placed me into numerous student loans to pay for their courses promising me that when I graduate it would be all for the better. I studied hard and worked hard to get high grades, even while working a full-time job and being a full-time mother to my XXXX children. After graduation, all I found myself was in high student loan debt which I can not repay. Till today, I have been suffering from shame, guilt, XXXX knowing that the debt is still rising from high interests and penalties and all I have to show for all of this is a " Blank '' piece of paper, according to the XXXX personnel when they refused to hire me for a XXXX because I did not meet the education requirements. I was also denied a position as a XXXX agent at the XXXX because my credit is too high and risky, and they too did not recognize my education. 

When will this all end? I do n't have the money to hire a lawyer to help me nor do I know where to start in getting rid of these loans which have been a nightmare to myself and to my family ( with high collection calls from Navient and collection departments ). All this because of a school that refuse ( s ) to take responsibility to misleading me into high debt for an education which is worthless. Help me!

Complaint narrative:
I am a single mother with XXXX children, I just went through a horrible divorce that involved XXXX. I am trying to pick up the pieces and put my life back together which includes keeping a roof over my children 's heads. I have a career with a XXXX year job history. Our home is currently in the foreclosure process with Bank of America. My ex husband stopped paying for the mortgage and took all of our money out of the bank when I obtained a restraining order against him. I can afford the mortgage payment go forward however I am unable to make up the back payments. Prior to the divorce being final I was constantly in contact with Bank of America trying to figure out ways to prevent the foreclosure. I was highly encouraged by them to obtain the divorce decree as quickly as possible and get my soon to be ex to quit claim the house so that I could qualify for a mortgage modification. I rushed the divorce to obtain these documents and submitted them only to be told I did not qualify. I was never told the same thing twice. Every time I called I received conflicting information. I retained an attorney by the name of XXXX XXXX at XXXX Law Firm as I feel there have been many UDAAP violations throughout this entire process that need to be investigated. To this day I still am unable to get the same information from XXXX different people at Bank of America on anything having to do with this whole mortgage modification approval/decline process. I submitted the divorce decree and quit claim deed exactly as I was told then I was told by someone else there was no need to do that. They appraised my home for {$500000.00} the first time, when I appealed that they came back with an appraisal of {$450000.00}. I sent in XXXX comparables to Bank of America and gave them the name of several realtors in my area who said the home would not appraise or sell for more than {$370000.00}. Bank of America has ignored that. Where is the due diligence around their appraisal process and ensuring the accuracy of them? How many other mortgage holders homes were over appraised as well in order to decline their mortgage modification?? I believe this over appraisal is XXXX of the reasons for the denial for the mortgage modification but not able to get confirmation around that either. Recently someone named XXXX XXXX called and said I could get my own appraisal done and this was the first I have heard of that as well. There have been nothing but unfair and deceptive acts and practices during this entire foreclosure/mortgage modification process. Please help, I can definitely afford the payments and need to keep my XXXX children in their home.

Complaint narrative:
We purchased our home in XX/XX/XXXX, for {$380000.00}, and it closed at short sale XX/XX/XXXX for {$250000.00}. To satisfy the deficiency and close out any chance of future claims against the deficiency amount, we even paid {$2000.00} to BofA at closing. Our mortgage loan # 's were XXXX ( XXXX & larger loan owned by XXXX ) & XXXX ( second smaller loan owned by Bank of America. 
Industry FRAUD was the reason why our home lost market value. We were enrolled in MHA program, which principal reductions were part of program, and we were NEVER offered this option. Short sale was the result of FRAUD and no support of XXXX thru MHA. 

For the XXXX which our loans were a part of, was XXXX involved as the ratings agency? See DOJ press release thru this link : XXXX

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I have private student loans through Navient ( formerly XXXX ), which are set up for automatic monthly payment. Enrollment in automatic payments affords me a 0.25 percent reduction in my interest rate. 
Last month, with no notice provided to me, Navient placed my loans on an in-school deferment, which cancelled my automatic payment and accordingly raised my interest rate by 0.25 percent. I enrolled in a part-time online course a few months earlier, and was unaware that the school had contacted Navient and that my part-time status was sufficient for a deferment. I learned this information during a call with Navient XX/XX/XXXX after I noticed that my payment for XX/XX/XXXX was not automatically processed as usual. 
Following two calls, Navient proposed as a solution that we shorten my deferment. I noted that this would result in me being charged 0.25 percent in excess interest charges for the two billing months the deferment was erroneously in place. After speaking to a supervisor, Navient agreed to remove the deferment from my account altogether and credit me the two months of excess interest charges that would have accrued during the deferment. 
Assuming the cancellation and excess interest credit are processed as agreed, I will be pleased with this solution to my problem. However, Navient 's procedure to put loans on in-school deferment without requesting this from or notifying borrowers is troubling, particularly because it can result in extra costs for the borrower. I 'm hopeful that CFPB can pressure Navient and other lenders to change this practice. It appears to me that this was the very sort of behavior that led XXXX to feel it had to burnish its image and change its name to Navient in the first place. 
Thank you.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
I received my XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, in which I began paying the following year through XXXX XXXX. While trying to find a steady job, XXXX XXXX made me go on forbearance of my student loan, because I could not afford to pay. It only accumulated more interested and added to my loan principle. It then transitioned to Navient and my payments went into the {$300.00}. Again I could not afford that, so I called to seek options. They put me in what they led me to believe was a income based payment, to find out it was a interest only payment. I started graduate school XX/XX/XXXX, in which my student loans went on school deferment. Today I called to get information on my next due payment, to find out that my loan principles are higher than what I ever took out. One of my loans beginning principle XX/XX/XXXX was {$9700.00} and now the unpaid principle is {$10000.00}. The other began at {$8000.00} XX/XX/XXXX and is now at {$8700.00}. I 'm in the XXXX field and have been looking at loan forgiveness, having been paying over 10 years. Today I feel I will NEVER reach financial freedom with my XXXX loans that I did n't make a dent, but now also show a higher principle ( which makes no sense ). In addition, I now owe {$18000.00} to the State of Texas for my XXXX degree. It almost feels like the more you accomplish, the further away you get from financial freedom. Navient deceived me and can not answer to my payment history with XXXX XXXX. Being in a helping profession that is underpaid, payment forgiveness and/or assistance should not be that difficult. Especially when your service is going back to serving the vulnerable populations of this country.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America sent me a letter in XXXX XX/XX/XXXX stating they reached an agreement with the Federal government and through this program they have forgiven part of my loan and that the forgiveness would be effective XXXX XXXX. The letter also stated that even if I was selling my house or paying the loan in full, I was still eligible for the forgiveness as long as the sale or payoff was completed after the forgiveness was processed. I call Bank of America shortly after receiving this letter and was told and assured by a Bank of America staff member that the forgiven part of my loan would be effective and processed on XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX We are selling our house and we set our escrow closing date after this date based on the information provided by Bank of America. Shortly after XXXX XXXX, our escrow requested a payoff from Bank of America and was given the original payoff amount. I called to find out why the payoff was n't reduced and the Bank of America staff member told me it still had n't processed but that I was n't eligible because I was selling my house. I spoke to her supervisor and was told the same thing. XXXX staff members told me that Bank of America is not in the business of giving away money and that my loan did n't qualify for the forgiveness because I was selling my house and not maintaining my loan with Bank of America. After I read the letter I received from Bank of America to them, they advised me they would have to research the issue but could take up to a week to get an answer. Finally, they agreed that my loan was eligible for the forgiveness after numerous followup phone calls and that my loan forgiveness would be processed by XXXX XXXX and that there was nothing they could do to expedite the processing. I called back to get help from another department that works with the Department of Justice and was told my loan was set to be processed by XXXX XXXX. Now it is the end of XXXX and they are telling me that ca n't give me a date it will be processed. I have been mislead and lied to by several Bank of America staff members and due to their processing delay the buyers of my home are threatening a potential law suit and the sellers of the home we are buying are threatening to cancel the sale if this issue does n't get resolved quickly. The delay, lack of response and misinformation by Bank of America has put me and the parties involved in the sale of our house in a financial bind. We need my loan forgiveness processed immediately before further expenses are incurred and the possible cancellation and law suit if this processing delay continues.
