NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP (“Scott+Scott”), a national shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, is investigating whether certain officers and directors of Navient Corporation (“Navient” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NAVI) breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company and its shareholders. If you are a Navient shareholder, you are encouraged to contact a Scott+Scott attorney at (844) 818-6982 for additional information.

Navient Corporation provides asset management and business processing services to education, healthcare and government clients at federal, state and local levels. The Company holds the portfolio of education loans insured or federally guaranteed under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. It services its own portfolio of education loans, as well as education loans owned by the United States Department of Education, financial institutions and nonprofit education lenders.

Over the past year and a half, Navient has been hit with a number of lawsuits. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Attorney Generals from Illinois and Washington have sued about alleged student loan servicing violations including: steering borrowers away from income-based repayment plans; obscuring renewal deadlines for borrowers enrolled in income-based repayment plans; handling payments incorrectly; misrepresenting the effects of loan rehabilitation; misreporting information to credit bureaus about disabled borrowers; and making predatory loans to students likely to default. Securities fraud class action lawsuits have also been filed regarding misrepresentations to investors, the disclosure of which allegedly caused the stock price to drop.

Scott+Scott’s investigation concerns whether Navient’s Board of Directors failed to implement appropriate procedures and controls to prevent the alleged violations.
