Payment on Private student loans is not allocated appropriately on multiple occasions. Efforts to correct errors through XXXX XXXX ( now Navient ) representatives has been met with repeated refusal. 

A substantial majority of the monthly payment is allocated to the private loan with the lower interest rate and the smaller principal balance. Instead, a majority of the payment should be allocated to the private loan with the larger principal balance ( which also happens to have a higher interest rate ). 

XXXX XXXX 's ( now Navient ) errors are consistently in the company 's favor because the allocation method used have been frequently applied so that my loan with a lower interest rate is paid off before the loan with a higher interest rate ( and larger principal balance ) In the attached documents, please note that the loan noted as " Loan XXXX '' or as " XXXX '' had an original principal balance of {$32000.00} and has a current interest rate of 3 %. The loan noted as " Loan XXXX '' or as " XXXX '' had an original balance of {$28000.00} and has a current interest rate of 2 %. 

For example, XXXX the attached document will show that my payment of {$430.00} on XXXX XXXX, XXXX was misallocated among the XXXX private loans within a Billing Group. {$250.00} of the total was applied to Loan XXXX with a 2 % interest rate, while only {$180.00} of the total payment was allocated to the loan Loan XXXX with a 3 % interest rate and a larger principal balance. 

In another of the attached documents, a portion ( {$24.00} ) of the {$51.00} payment is applied to the principal of the loan XXXX ( also known as Loan XXXX ) with the lower interest rate while none of the payment is allocated towards the loan XXXX ( also known as Loan XXXX ) with the higher interest rate. 

The third document shows a similar allocation error made on a payment in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. It is included as an example. There are many similar allocation errors made during the course of loan repayment The attached document is only XXXX example of this same allocation error that occurred a number of times until, after repeated requests, XXXX XXXX agreed to separate my XXXX private loans so that they are no longer in a Billing Group. 

After reviewing my original promissory note, I can find no justification for these loans being originally placed into a Billing Group, where they remained for almost 8 years until they were separated. I can see no benefit to me as a consumer that my loans were placed into a Billing Group ; however, the multiple allocation that XXXX XXXX made over several years did benefit XXXX XXXX in that I was prevented from paying down my private loan with the higher interest rate ( and the higher principal balance ) in a timely manner. 

Since this allocation error has been consistent and persistent, I believe it to be systemic and purposeful - likely impacting many borrowers.
