Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with forgiveness, cancellation, or discharge
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Many students, including myself, were misled by Navient into securing predatory private loans to fund education at for-profit online institutions, such as The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I attended from XXXX to XXXX with an original principal loan amount of about XXXX. Despite having paid the total amount towards these loans, my current balance is paid off in full while ahead of the amount of time given to pay it back. 
Notably, XXXX XXXX XXXX and their parent company, XXXX, were subject to investigations by various state attorneys general and found to have engaged in deceptive practices. In response to widespread allegations of fraud and misconduct by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, the Biden administration recently announced a comprehensive loan discharge for students enrolled at these institutions from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX. This led to the discharge of my federal loans totaling about XXXX and the restoration of my credit. 
Navient, which was sued by the attorneys general of 39 states for its role in facilitating these predatory loans, had a specific arrangement with for-profit schools during the early XXXX, makin~ it a " preferred '' lender. Despite this, the settlement terms provided by Navient were considerably inadequate, excluding many borrowers who took loans for attendance at approximately XXXX for-profit online schools, unless they resided in certain states or had not defaulted for at least seven months during a specified period. 
The only period during which I managed to reduce the principal amount was during the pandemic, when interest rates were temporarily lowered to between 0.5 % and 1 %. However, once the regular interest rates resumed, my balance skyrocketed again. This financial strain, coupled with the emotional stress and damage to personal relationships, has been overwhelming. 
Moreover, Navient exited the federal student loan servicing business amidst legislative and advocacy scrutiny, following allegations of steering borrowers away from income-driven repayment plans towards forbearance, an action for which they had to provide restitution. 
Navient has also faced multiple lawsuits for other predatory lending and illegal collection practices. 
Currently, Navient is distributing " applications '' to select students who may qualify for Borrower Defense claims against their schools. However, this process feels unnecessary and opaque, as Navient is already aware of the affected students. 
Under the FTC 's " Holder Rule, '' Navient is accountable for these predatory loans issued in association with for-profit online schools. As time is critical, XXXX XXXX XXXX has urged Navient 's CEO to immediately discharge these loans. It is crucial for Navient to take responsible action now by discharging all such predatory private loans associated with for-profit online education.

Complaint narrative:
I regret to inform you that I can not accept your decision to dismiss my identity theft claim as an error or misrepresentation of material fact. It is concerning that you have taken it upon yourself to determine what qualifies as a material fact, especially considering that you do not hold the authority of a judge.

According to the guidelines outlined by the FTC, when an FTC identity theft report is filed with a law enforcement agency, it is imperative to comply with the law.

I am willing to give you one final opportunity to process my request regarding my identity theft. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to seek legal recourse in the courtroom, where you will be held responsible for the damage inflicted upon my reputation, credit, and emotional well-being as a result of this issue. It is highly likely that the significance of the material facts will become abundantly clear, and you will be required to compensate me for your negligence. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
