Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hi CFPB, I am submitting a new complaint as to my previous student loan servicer, Navient. They responded that they stopped servicing my loan in XXXX. They are incorrect. 

I received the attached notice from Navient on XX/XX/XXXX that my loans were going to aidvantage. This did happen and I'm making payments to aidadvantage now. Even if Navient did stop servicing my loan in XXXX, then who was? It would be their responsibility to let me know and again the notice I received from them as mentioned stated they were. If they were not, then I'd like to know who was. 

As to my experience with Navient they misrepresented that my payment would go entirely to interest. Their practices on gaining more interest payments for the company is unethical. I never would have agreed to that arrangement. 

I am requesting again forgiveness of my loan or a decrease in principal. If this is something handled by the CFPB " only '' then please provide this information. 

I have been paying student loans for years. I am XXXX now. Navient 's practices were unfair. 

Many thanks, XXXX XXXX
