XXXX University, XXXX NY XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX have been repaying my student loans for 10years. Between my federal and private loan payments the payments have been in excess of XXXX, ( private being XXXX ). Recently, I extended the terms of my private loans to lower the payments ( now XXXX in addition to {$280.00} federal payment ). I also took a significant pay cut and am living on my credit cards in order to pay for this and my healthcare plan. I have diligently paid the entire principal + {$20000.00} and they want an additional {$50000.00}. That is 170 % return on the borrowed funds. I do not understand why this is fair or unregulated. A mortgage with these terms would not happen unless I had the worst credit, and I have well above XXXX credit score. It is unsecured debt and I have done my duty. I do not think that NavientXXXX should be able to continue to hold this account in debt. I offered a settlement that was VERY REASONABLE ( 40 % of remaining balance ) and they declined the offer because my account is in good standing. They told me they will only consider settling my account if I stop paying, ruin my credit, become deliquent client for an extended length of time. Of course this makes even less sense to me. Please help me to get a fair settlement attained for this debt.
