flag Over 100,000 borrowers get up to $2,000 from Navient settlement; U.S. urges colleges to cut student loan defaults.

flag The U.S. Department of Education has urged colleges to improve default prevention plans as nonpayment rates rise, with over 1,800 institutions facing 25% or higher default rates for borrowers repaying between 2020 and 2025. flag Meanwhile, over 100,000 federal student loan borrowers are receiving automatic payments from a $120 million CFPB settlement with Navient, which is barred from servicing federal loans. flag The settlement compensates borrowers harmed by Navient’s alleged steering into costly forbearance instead of income-driven repayment plans, with checks ranging from $100 to $2,000. flag Payments began February 13 and do not reduce loan balances.
