I have had a XXXX XXXX XXXX Now Navient XXXX loan since XX/XX/XXXX that I have been trying to work with the lender to pay off. I have called XXXX XXXX numerous times to inform them that I needed modified options to pay XXXX which they did XXXX ) or different programs offered in order to find a way to pay my student loan. I have explained many times that due to my husband being military and I not working ( yet seeking employment ) we did not make enough to cover costs of living. My mother is the co-signer on the loan, but refuses to help in any way possible. I am trying to manage the loan and have argued for rehab options on a now defaulted loan in which no one will help. They want the full sum. While I understand to terms and conditions, I am trying my best with what I have and offering to give only what I can. I have been in school since XX/XX/XXXX trying to obtain a degree in fields where I know I can find work. My husband left XXXX to be with his family because he was being XXXX constantly. We ended up taking a huge pay cut which in turn made our finances even harder and drained our accounts trying to keep our finances at bay. We are living pay check to pay check trying to keep on our feet. I finally have obtained a job after moving back to our home state and are currently living with relatives because we can not afford to even rent. The pay is n't good, but it 's a start. My husband is currently starting a new job which should help with the finances as well. The military service does n't offer help in our situation as we have looked. My husband did apply for his XXXX benefits, but that is taking too long and the money that was supposed to help us is not even being sent to us as of yet due to the time taken to process the paper work. We are financially stuck and our only option at this point is to file bankruptcy.
