XXXX UniversityXXXX XXXX, OHLender is Navient ( formerly XXXX XXXX ) I have been fighting for 9 years about a loan because I was not aware of any students loans being private loans. When I was in school, I only used FAFSA and I used loans from XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I was not notified that these were private loans. In fact, all of my loans had to be cosigned because I had no credit. I spoke with them many many times about this loan and explained that I did not request private loans ever. In 2011, my parents filed for bankruptcy and all of the loans that were cosigned by them, were dismissed in their bankruptcy. I no longer have XXXX loans on my credit because of this. Unknowingly, XXXX more loans appeared on my credit and my mom 's credit recently. When we talked to them about it, Navient told us that they were cosigned by my stepdad, who is deceased, and that they have always been loans with them. To my knowledge, these XXXX loans were not my loans nor were they loans my stepdad cosigned for because they would have been put into his bankruptcy and discharged along with the XXXX loans. These loans are now hurting my credit because I ca n't pay them back. I am a XXXX Veteran and am on a fixed budget. My federal loans have been discharged due to my XXXX and I can not get Navient to forgive these loans. They have continued to rack up interest and shows past due because they will not fix it. According to my report, Navient has reported that the loans have been written off or charged off as bad debt but yet the interest continues to rise and past due amount continues to rise.
