Navient Student Loan Complaint

Navient Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Received bad information about my loan Massachusetts

My son was readily provided with numerous school loans from - in -. I cosigned a loan for him six years ago. When he was unable to afford all of the monthly balances, I stepped in to help several years ago. I made a large payment believing the loan was almost satisfied. It has taken me two years to get answers, loan paperwork and exact balances. In the past two years, after countless phone calls and letters from my end, interest capitalized. I requested an ombudsman this - but was actually connected to a Navient employee. My concerns are lack of explanation to my son when borrowing all of this money, lack of communication to me as the cosigner over the past several years, and incorrect statements by Navient. One example of this was a recent conversation with a " top '' loan administrator who insisted that I should have known about increasing interest penalties due to monthly statements. I have never received statements and was told on several phone conversations that as the cosigner I had no right to specific information. As it turns out, they did not have my address correct. Statements were never received by me. I


left to Navient, and still can not get statements. I have also tried several times unsuccessfully to pay online these past two months. The insistence that I should have known all along what was incurring is incorrect as statements were not received by me. The address they had on file this summer was not even an address I recognized. I was also told repeatedly over the past four years by phone that I was not allowed to get specific information, which I believe as a cosigner is also incorrect. Interestingly, I recently heard an interview on - by a young woman stating that she was offered and given numerous loans from The - - - - -, -, without a clear understanding of how much debt she was actually incurring. These young people are getting themselves turned upside down financially unknowingly before they even have the opportunity to make an income. My frustration is the way Navient mishandled communication and has cost me thousands of extra dollars.
