Introduction
Navient is a student loan servicer that was created when Sallie Mae spun off its loan servicing business in 2014. Navient services more than 12 million student loan borrowers with both federal and private loans. Private loans make up about 25% of Navient’s portfolio.
In the past few years, Navient has sold some of its loans to other servicers. If you have a Navient loan, you might be wondering if yours was sold and who currently services your loan. Read on to find out what you need to know about loans sold by Navient.
Navient is a student loan servicer, meaning that it manages student loans on behalf of the lender. The company services both federal and private student loans. According to the company, it services more than $300 billion in student loans for more than 12 million borrowers.
What Happened to My Loan?
Your servicer is the company that you send your monthly student loan payment to. If you have a Direct Loan or a FFEL Program loan, your servicer is assigned to you by the U.S. Department of Education. If you have a private student loan, your servicer is the company that you agreed to when you took out your loan—your lender may or may not be your servicer.
When a Direct Loan or FFEL Program loan is sold, the servicing of the loan may also be transferred to a new company. Your new servicer will contact you to introduce themselves and let you know what steps, if any, you need to take. Make sure you keep all contact information for your new servicer in a safe place so that you can make your payments on time and avoid going into delinquency or default.
If your private student loan is sold, chances are good that the terms of your loan will stay the same and that your monthly payments will continued to be processed by the same company. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your lender or servicer after your loan has been sold just to make sure that there have been no changes in the terms of your agreement or in the company that is now processing your payments.
How Do I Find Out Who My Loan Was Sold To?
The best way to find out who your loan was sold to is to log in to your account on the Navient website. Once you are logged in, click on the “My Loans” tab, and then select the loan in question from the list of loans displayed. On the next page, scroll down to the “Loan Servicer” section near the bottom of the page, and you will see the name and contact information for your current loan servicer.
