I defaulted on a $15000.00 Student loan around 2011. I entered into an agreement to resolve the issue by paying $10,000. I made payments in the agreed amount but some of the payments were not applied to the account in default. Navient took the agreed upon $10,000 and now state that since the account in question was not paid the agreed upon sum that I am now still accountable for the full sum plus interest. I have contacted them on three occasions and was told that it was being looked into. I have now received another letter from a collection agency offering a settlement of $3,750 for a loan that was supposedly resolved through my payment of the initial $10,000 that was paid.
