Navient is one of the only servicers that seems to be dragging its feet and not giving direct information about discharges…all while continually adding interest. If I’m correct, didn’t Navient used to be Sallie Mae? Government owned? Could it be possible that they are holding out because there is a direct connection to the current administration and all of the legislation currently taking place around student loan forgiveness. I’m starting to think Navient isn’t moving because there is instruction from the government to hold off. I know there’s been a court approved settlement, but in these crazy times, I can’t help but wonder if “the other shoe” will be dropped by congress or the SCOTUS and the government is simply protecting its interest…pun intended.
Not trying to be rude, but your theory has no basis in reality. Not only is every servicer dragging their feet just as much as Navient is, but the current administration is much much friendlier to discharge than any other administration in recent history so the idea that they are behind the slow-roll is, frankly, delusional.
I mean, it is kinda rude, even though you assert that’s not your intention. However, what I meant when I said what I said is that I have seen many people from other servicers say their loans were discharged. Though they are all slow, I have only seen very few (maybe 5 max) post about Navient discharging their loans. So, my idea that Navient is slow for underlying reasons does not imply that it is the only one that is slow. This administration parades the appearance of being more friendly when it comes to discharges, but that isn’t true. I wont go down the political road for obvious reasons, but this administration could’ve taken several different routes avoiding congress in order to complete the discharge promises they made, but chose not to. What perhaps could be considered more delusional is the belief that a company that was originally run by the government doesn’t have something to gain by being the last to complete the discharges and dragging this out until January.
