Navient hired Financial Asset Management Systems ( " FAMS '' ) to collect on a student loan. I called FAMS on XXXX XXXX, 2016, to offer a settlement agreement on the debt of {$430.00} per month beginning on XXXX XXXX, 2016, for 24 months for a total settlement on the loans of {$10000.00}. XXXX had previously offered a settlement of $ XXXX FAMS agent stated that they could n't help me for some reason. They said they could n't pull up my account and that they could n't help me, even though I 've been making payments for th past 14 months to FAMS of {$250.00} per month. I recorded the phone call of the agent stating that they could n't help me. I have no idea why FAMS could n't help me because they have been taking my payments for the past 14 months. I called to offer the settlement, but unfortunately FAMS was playing hardball, and the agent was misrepresenting that they could n't help which is a flagrant violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.
