Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention a matter concerning the fact that I was scammed by Navient, back then Sallie Mae, into taking out predatory private loans to attend XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
As a matter of fact, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and their Parent company, EDMC were investigated by the attorneys general of several states and have been found to have acted in a fraudulent manner. 
Because of the numerous claims of fraud and misconduct perpetrated by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, the Biden administration has just announced a blanket discharge for anyone enrolled at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 
My Federal loans in the amount of {$89000.00} are scheduled to be discharged and my credit repaired. 
I am aware that Navient was sued by 39 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 150 for profit schools. 
After the AG settlement, didn't Navient also get out of the Federal student loan business due to scrutiny from lawmakers and borrower advocates?

Didn't Navient have to pay restitution to the Federal student loan borrowers for not informing students of IDR/IBR payments students 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 Borrower Defense claims against their schools and were approved. 
Under the FTC " Holder Rule '' Navient is liable for giving predatory loans in connection with for-profit schools. 
Time is running out for Navient to do right by students who were scammed into taking out private loans to attend 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 for profit schools NOW!
