Navient has reached a $120 million settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over its practices with student loan borrowers, the company tells CNBC.

The CFPB sued Navient in 2017 for misleading borrowers and providing them with bad information, causing many to pay more than they needed to.

As part of the settlement, $100 million will be used to make payments to impacted customers, as determined by the CFPB, Navient said.

The remaining $20 million will go to the CFPB’s civil penalty fund.
