This Blemish is now holding up mortgage approval for my new home. I've reached out to Merchants Prefered and asked for assistance reviewing the payment statements but they refused to help me.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I have worked in qualifying public service jobs my entire career spanning 39 years since XXXX. 
I took out Direct Parent Plus loans believing what I was told by Fed Loan Servicing and the US government about receiving forgiveness through the PSLF program. 
My wife and I have been paying on these loans since XXXX. 
The limited waiver was going to be a lifeline to allow us to retire. 
We were promised by Fed Loan Servicing and the US government the exact same things and have endured the exact same major failures as non Parent Plus loan holders. 
Why in heavens name were we excluded from the XXXX limited waiver? 
What could be the reasoning for this? 
Is our own Parent Plus PSLF waiver coming up in the fall? 
How could this exclusion have been allowed? 
Is this another case of age discrimination or are older Americans not seen as having enough power to demand our rights?

Complaint sub-issue: Charged too much interest

I called the US Bank Credit card number on XX/XX/2019 to see about lowering my interest rate ( now north of 23 % ). I asked them if they would change my card to a platinum card instead of a travel rewards, that way they can still make money and I save some. The usurious rate that they are charging should be illegal. 23 % I so much that I couldnt possibly dent it properly. Im not asking them to close the card, Im asking them to not charge an arm and a leg, specially when rates right now are so low. It seems completely abusive and I believe the cfpb needs to be made aware of that these big banks are doing to their regular consumers. They said no. That there was no invitation for me to lower my rate right now. I explained how it would be smart to do this cause I could get a balance transfer and terminate my relationship with them. They still said no. They will charge me 23.99 % on a {$14000.00} balance. Which is fantastic for them! They keep this up Im positive they will be the new XXXX XXXX.
