I have a private loan with Navient. I am trying to pay my loan ; however, I do not currently have the income to make the entire payment. I have been trying to get the payment reduced for almost a year now, but they will not allow it. The only option I am given is to pay {$100.00} to put the loan in forbearance for one month. However, their " sister '' company has a program in place to allow you to pay based on your income, which is much more reasonable. I do n't understand why Navient would not have a similar option available, especially in an economy such as ours. It is understandable that people are not able to pay there loans in the amount they are demanding. They should by law have to offer more payment options so that you can pay your bill and not have your credit negatively affected. This process seems unfair and in many ways illegal. I am hoping something can be done about it. I really someone to help me on this matter. Thank you.
