January 14, 2022
Former top student loan servicing giant Navient has “reached a $1.85 billion deal with 39 states to settle claims that it had made predatory loans that saddled borrowers with crushing debts they were highly unlikely to repay.” Under the agreement, Navient will cancel $1.7 billion in “delinquent private student loan debts for nearly 66,000 borrowers and pay $95 million in restitution.” Most affected borrowers attended for-profit schools “that often have low graduation rates and poor job-placement records” - NYTimes and WSJ and MarketWatch and Law360
