Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Subissue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Consumer Complaint: Well, My Concern, concerns several things, so I didn't exactly know which box to reference to begin my complaint. i got involved in this IDR loan with Navient because of What I was verbally told about ( concerning ) this loan repayment plan, which sounded good, verbally, ..at the time. HOWEVER, this info. is/was NOT actually the facts on paper. I got involved because I was mislead to believe that I would be paying on this loan for Ten ( 10 ) years,.. then it would be forgiven /dismissed. So, Here I am, thinking I will be forgiven within the next approx 5 years, since I originally got started with this plan. When I really begin to inquire into this loan, this past 3 months ago, I am now told that My plan doesn't expire till the next 25 years.!!?? Now, I was listening to what The Navient Representative Told me. MIND YOU ; I HAVE NOT BEEN READING ALL THE INTEMNIDATING FINE PRINT AND LANGUAGE HIDDEN IN THE REAL DOCUMENTS, UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I am Finding out Now that, The Verbal information I was Given, and was mislead to believe, was NOT True!!! I would NOT have gotten involved in anything of the sort of Arrangement, at my age,. I would be almost XXXX XXXX XXXX, or Dead prior to that time, trying to pay this loan I don't need to be paying on this kind of debt ( $ 22K ) plus more accruing interest,... to anyone,, at this point in my life.. All I get from Navient higher Authority, is an apology for mis-information, ( given me ), which doesn't pay the balance -bill, after being lured into this trap. Plz help!!.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Subissue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Consumer Complaint: In 2007 I borrowed {$10000.00} from Sallie Mae for expenses associated with my graduate school courses. For the past 14 years, we have paid it on time. We approximate the sum of the payments we have made over the past 14 years to be almost {$40000.00}. The loan has been sold to Navient. Currently, Navient shows my balance as over {$12000.00}, and is still collecting a monthly payment from me. At this point, my payment is mostly interest, and a small fraction goes to the principal, and the loan is only growing. I can't find a way to deal with this other than just hand over an additional {$13000.00} to close the loan ( which I don't have ). Am I supposed to pay literally {$100000.00} before this {$10000.00} debt is paid off? XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but there is no loan forgiveness for this, because it is a private loan. I recently purchased a new car for {$24000.00}. My monthly payment is {$350.00} per month and it will be paid off in 72 months. In comparison, I feel that I am being taken advantage of by Navient. I need help and my family is suggesting I hire an attorney. Do you know of any attorneys that deal with situations like this? Is there anything you can do to help me? My income is low. This monthly payment is just cruel at this point because it doesn't make any progress toward reducing the loan. Thank you for your help and advice, XXXX XXXX XXXX Navient account # XXXX : XXXX XXXX

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: According to the federal government, loan payments had been deferred and this showed on my ancient statement as well. I did not make a payment for a couple of months then was charged a late fee. I immediately payed ( XX/XX/XXXX2021 ) and tried to contact someone for clarification which sent me information on other payment options. An unauthorized payment was made from my bank account from Navi ent on XXXXXXXX XXXX,2021. When I called to question, they said it was made from my account, that I had mistakenly paid. I had not logged into my account since XXXX/XXXX/21 nor was I set up for autopay. I immediately deleted my bank account information to stop Navient from making more unauthorized payments.

Consumer Complaint: Dear Sir or Madam, 1. NAVI Account NumberXXXX Please correct this inaccurate information on my credit report. I recently pulled my credit report from your Bureau and my attorneys and I had a chance to go over my credit report and in amazement, that you have decided to report me 90 days late on this account in XX/XX/XXXX as wells 120 days late on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately disputed this information with NAVI and the results of the investigation came back " verified ''. Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the information furnisher is required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. Since I have disputed the lates with the creditor, and you obviously " verified '' them, I am very curious as to what kinds of " records '' you may have for this alleged account. I am very confident that you are in violation of the ( FCRA ) and ( FCBA ) sections ( 1666, 1666a. 1666b., and 1666c. ) as stated below : 1666. Correction of billing errors ( b ) Billing error ( 4 ) The creditor 's failure to reflect properly on a statement, a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor. ( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement. ( 6 ) Failure to transmit the statement required under section 1637 ( b ) of this title to the last address of the obligor which has been disclosed to the creditor, unless that address was furnished less than twenty days before the end of the billing cycle for which the statement is required. ( 7 ) Any other error described in regulations of the Bureau. 1666a. Regulation of credit reports ( a ) Reports by creditor on obligor 's failure to pay amount regarded as billing error After receiving a notice from an obligor as provided in section 1666 ( a ) of this title, a creditor or his agent may not directly or indirectly threaten to report to any person adversely on the obligor 's credit rating or credit standing because of the obligor 's failure to pay the amount indicated by the obligor under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, and such amount may not be reported as delinquent to any third party until the creditor has met the requirements of section 1666 of this title and has allowed the obligor the same number of days ( not less than ten ) thereafter to make payment as is provided under the credit agreement with the obligor for the payment of undisputed amounts. ( b ) Reports by creditor on delinquent amounts in dispute ; notification of obligor of parties notified of delinquency If a creditor receives a further written notice from an obligor that an amount is still in dispute within the time allowed for payment under subsection ( a ) of this section, a creditor may not report to any third party that the amount of the obligor is delinquent because the obligor has failed to pay an amount which he has indicated under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, unless the creditor also reports that the amount is in dispute and, at the same time, notifies the obligor of the name and address of each party to whom the creditor is reporting information concerning the delinquency. ( c ) Reports by creditor of subsequent resolution of delinquent amounts A creditor shall report any subsequent resolution of any delinquencies reported pursuant to subsection ( b ) to the parties to whom such delinquencies were initially reported. 1666b. Timing of payments ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Because I take my credit very seriously, I contacted every name and account that was listed on the report. I was again very shocked by the multiple names, account numbers and figures. Included with this letter, is every letter written to those who have hampered my ability to obtain credit. I believe that any judge that looks over the report would agree that it is a violation of both the FCRA, CCPA and FACTA. The following accounts were listed on your report and I have demanded from them a full accounting and five years worth of records to see if their accounts were in violation of the FAIR CREDIT BILLING ACT ( FCBA ). We also demanded signed contracts, agreements or any legal paperwork that would tie us to the following accounts. Under the FCRA, you are required to conduct an investigation on this account if I request it. I DEMAND to see all 100 % verifiable proof that I was indeed Verifiably late on these accounts and the creditor fulfilled its obligations under ( FCBA 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) ), As I was never notified of a billing delinquency on my accounts, which the creditor must do under section ( FCBA1666 ( b ) ( 6 ). I DEMAND to see proof that I was mailed my statement to the correct address notifying me of both payment due date and delinquency of payment on the account. If you can not provide 100 % Verifiable proof and proper documentation that the CREDITOR fulfilled its obligations under the ( FCBA ) and ( FCRA ), I therefore demand these late payments be removed from my account or I will be forced to be in contact with the Attorney General of my State and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I therefore am submitting my written request to you to conduct an investigation. Per the FCRA, you have 30 days to conduct this investigation and respond to my request. If you do not respond within this time period, per the FCRA, you must remove this negative information.
