Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided
Consumer Complaint: So I have been in touch with Navient for a month or so about my financial situation and my difficulty paying off my loan with the current monthly premium of {$390.00}, and they asked for paperwork that I provided them with. But they never lowered my premium. In fact, I received an email from them today asking for {$790.00}! That is the double the original amount, which I had a hard time paying. So instead of lowering my premium, they doubled it. So I believe they are overcharging. Then I realized that there are lawsuits against them regarding the same complaint.
Meanwhile, I have applied for the PSLF program and got accepted, but that has not processed for some reason. Again, I read about the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ‘ lawsuit. An organization that I am a member of.
I have worked for governmental institutions part-time since XX/XX/2009, and full-time since this year. I love my work, and I love XXXX XXXX XXXX as a XXXX. It unreasonable and unethical for Navient to have me go through all this unnecessary and unjustified stress!
