Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION (NJ)

To Whom it May Cincern, I have been struggling to make payments to XXXX XXXX for the past two years ( since XX/XX/2016 ). Ultimately, I had no choice but to utilize all 12 months offered in forebearance ( broken up into 3 or 1 month increments ), just to stay afloat. I am not trying to escape my responsibilites as a borrower. I am well aware of the amount owed on my loans and I am more than willing to make payments in an effort to reduce my stuudent loan debt. However, I went from making $ 80- {$90.00} payments on my student loans, to exhausting all of my financial resources to come up with almost {$900.00} a month in payments to XXXX XXXX . I have spoken to plethora of representatives ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX to name a few ), from both the customer service and the collections department at XXXX XXXX, and most of the time, my conversations with them are not pleasant. I have received mixed responses from the call reprsentatives on how to pay my loans and what " programs '' I qualify for, yet I am still unable to lower my payments. As a result, I became delinquent on other debt responsibilities including my federal student loans because my income does not correlate with the amount of money that I have coming out. XXXX XXXX, is honestly one of the worst private student loan companies out there. They are insensitive to the isssues and concerns of their clients and are extremely unprofessional. In my conversation today with representative XXXX, I was told that I knew what I was getting into when I borrowed XXXX in student loans, and that there was nothing that could be done to lower my payments besides automatic debit, or waiting until I'm delinquent in 5 days to receive a call from collections. I am honestly confused as to why XXXX XXXX ( who has ties with the Dept. of Education ), would not want to help their customers avoid missing a payment in and " try '' to actucaully help reduce the amount of debt owed to their company. Their lack of regard for their customers, honesty, and integrity is astounding. I am seriously considering taking legal action against the company just to lower my payments which is unfortunate.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

Bank of America Credit Card monthly payments drastically increase after a confusion over the phone. I applied for the credit card over the phone under the assumption that it be zero interest rate for the first 8 months. However, it became a credit card that incurred a very high interest. The first and only late payment occurred on XX/XX/2019. I called to solve it, which the bank apologized for the confusion ; thus, did not honor my request to make it zero interest as I thought it will previously be. I recently gone through financial hardships with my business. Nevertheless, I continue to make all my payments on time. Because of the confusion and the time span trying to solve the miscommunication I incurred a late payment. The late payment drastically dropped my score.

I am in the midst of a heartbreaking pending divorce. My husband had all of the financial information and went behind my back in initiating all of this, which didn't give me any time to prepare or protect myself. Anyway, I just looked at my credit reports today and noticed several unauthorized and unfamiliar soft inquiries described as " Account Review Inquiries '' and 2 " Credit Reports. '' I would just like to know what they are and who authorized them without my permission. If it was my husband, he most likely used my SS, birth date, etc. and went behind my back yet again, to gather all my financial data. I have a suspicion that our accountant who has all of my information because he just did our taxes, helped him.
