Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't get flexible payment options
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (IL)

I took out over {$100000.00} for an XXXX degree. This was foolish. I graduated in XXXX, and found a job at a school making around {$16000.00}. For many years I missed payments. Depending on the credit agency you consult, I 've made between 59-65 % of my payments. I am current with my loans as of today. I am making {$32000.00} a year or {$2000.00} a month, and paying a little over {$1000.00} a month in both private and federal loans. After taxes, I 'm effectively making around {$12000.00} a year. Navient, to whom I pay around {$800.00} a month, will not provide another payment option, and I 'm not sure I would want it if they did. If my payments were much less, they would no longer cover the interest accrued that month. Since I took them out, my loans have grown by {$10000.00}. Furthermore, I have no hope of paying this off in less than XXXX years. 

Frankly, if I were to default and Navient and the federal government garnished my wages for the rest of my life, I 'd still end up paying significantly less per month than I do now, at least under Illinois law. 

I admit I was naive to think taking out such enormous loans for a degree in XXXX was a sound investment. But there were hundreds of trained professionals at XXXX XXXX ( now Navient ) who could have decided these loans were predatory and did nothing. No sane individual would think giving someone over {$100000.00} to study XXXX at an unknown private university would ever return reasonable dividends. But I was the first person in my family to go to college, and believed the hype about college as the XXXX to employment and success, when for me, the reality is I would have been much better off without it, or at least this particular degree.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY)

On XX/XX/XXXX someone fraudulently used my debit card number to pay for an XXXX ( {$95.00} ). I never use my debit card for online purchases ( only ATM withdrawals and account transfers ) and know I've kept it secure and that no one else has had access to it. My XXXX account shows no record of this charge. So I disputed it and filed a claim with Bank of America but they rejected it saying it must have been someone who has permission to use the card when that isn't true. I spoke with multiple customer representatives who said they couldn't provide any other info about the fraudulent charge. So I gave up and just got a new debit card. Then someone fraudulently used my new card number to pay for more XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX ( {$540.00} ) and XX/XX/XXXX ( {$490.00} ). I disputed again with Bank of America but they rejected saying the same things. So I disputed with XXXX who have refunded the {$490.00}, but not for the previous XXXX charges totaling {$640.00}. They said they can't give any info about who used my debit card without a formal request from a government agency, so I tried to file a police report with the XXXX. But the XXXX said they need an affidavit from Bank of America so I've asked them for it but they've said they can't provide XXXX. There needs to be a way for the authorities to get the details of who made those XXXX purchases to determine if they were someone who had permission to use my debit card or not. I know for sure that these charges were not made using my debit card and I've lost {$640.00} in my Bank of America account so far through someone fraudulently accessing my debit card info online.
