Complaint narrative:
I was enrolled at XXXX XXXX in XXXX and they filed for bankruptcy and closed before I was able to complete my degree. In XXXX, Navient contracted XXXX to collect my defaulted student loan. XXXX reached out to me and offered to allow me to settle for less then the full amount. I did not have money at the time and asked if I was able to pay, if they would remove it off my report. They said Once Navient receives the money, they will take care of that. They told me I would have to make the payment by XX/XX/XXXX. I called around the middle of XXXX to ask for an extension, which they said an extension would mean they couldnt honor the settlement. I even called back the next week and told them I did not have the full {$2000.00} and if I could settle for XXXX and they again said no. On XX/XX/XXXX I called in and when I couldnt I paid the XXXX. They told me they would take the {$2000.00} and hold it for a month and then update my account accordingly. I have been calling at least 4 times a week begging for them to fix my report correctly so I can get approved for a home. Every time I call they give me attitude and tell me that I have to wait 30-60 days but its not XXXX. I kept telling them you guys are reporting it incorrectly and Navient did nothing but send me to a fake voicemail which I have left so many messages on and havent received not one call back. I decided to create an account with them and when I did it said that my account was still in default and I owed a past due balance. I have complained so much and Navient had not helped me at all.
