Navient Student Loan Complaint

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer having problems with customer service

Navient Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Having problems with customer service New Hampshire

This complaint regards - signature student loans disbursed -/-/- and -/-/-. The loans are currently held by Navient - - -. I am currently in school at University of - - - - in -, New Hampshire. I entered this school -/-/-. Each year, I filled out a new deferment form for my prior student loans. This fall, I had to do the same. I went onto Navient 's website and printed out the required deferment paperwork. I had my registrar complete the paperwork and fax the documents to Navient. Navient 's website says that deferment requests may take up to 21 days to process. I waited the three weeks. The website continued to say that I needed to make payments. I never received even a letter or an email confirming or denying my request for deferment. I occasionally got a message from my parents that Navient had called, always during school hours, but had refused to tell my parents why they were calling.


I repeated the process, having my registrar send another deferment form, in case the first one had failed to successfully reach Navient. Again, the website never acknowledged the deferment request in any manner. I did not receive an email or a letter regarding the matter. I called Navient, and the automated message said that the deferment request was pending. When I finally got through to a human being, they told me, for the first time, that my loan was no longer eligible for deferment ( apparently I had used the allowable 48 months ). This information was not available online. This information was never conveyed to me by email or letter, even though I received numerous other letters and emails indicating that payment was due unless I enrolled in deferment or forbearance. And every attempt to contact me by phone occurred during school hours with Navient 's representative refusing to leave a message. It should have been so difficult to find out that my loan was ineligible for deferment, even though I am still in school. It was unreasonable for Navient to fail to respond to - separate faxed deferment requests. If not for this asinine process, I would have made my payments on time. I would not have incurred late fees and the added interest. - - - - - -, NH - --
