I have been struggling to pay over {$150000.00} in student debt to Navient which at the time I took the loans in XXXX was Navient. I believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX now Navient XXXX had my university XXXX University XXXX XXXX XXXX push private student loans as the secondary way to bridge the financial gap to pay for my education. Grants and scholarships were not promoted as much as private student loans, which I was left with the impression was the only way to pay for school. 

Since graduation XX/XX/XXXX I have had to declare bankruptcy ( student loans were not discharged ) and have had to deal with the unprofessional and mistrustful corporation for the last decade. In the last 10 years I have never been given the same information twice from customer service reps. I have been told crazy things such as, " do n't worry someone paid your loan off '' and promised low payment plans to " help '' when all they do is compound insane amounts of interest and fees. I have paid over {$50000.00} to XXXX XXXX / Navient but my loans have still ballooned from {$130000.00} to {$150000.00}, making no headway. 

Their XXXX number is outsourced to another country. The employees do not know what they are talking about and are hard to understand their broken XXXX. They charge a {$14.00} service fee to take a payment over the phone with the debt card, even though if you contact their collections department, based in the US, they do not charge a fee at all. The wait times are long and the phone system loops yous around and around. It is not uncommon to spend 45 minutes on the phone just to make a payment or resolve an issue. 

I have had payments meant for Federal loans be applied to Private loans and have had Federal loans go into 30-60 month passed due because of this. Recently, I asked for a total tally of how much I have paid them in total XX/XX/XXXX and no one can provide that info to me. I was told they do n't have that information. That 's impossible. I was told online through a customer service email that I could look it up online but when I searched the query, it said " Error - can not process ''. Deceit, lies, untrust are the words that come to mind when I think of Navient. 

No way out, no way to refinance it, struggling. Need help!
