Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Many students, including myself, were misled by XXXX into securing predatory private loans to fund education at for-profit online institutions, such as ( your School Here ). I attended from XXXX to XXXX with an original principal loan amount of XXXX. Despite having paid XXXX towards these loans, my current balance stands at XXXX due to an exorbitant interest rate, which currently is 14.875 %. 
Notably, XXXX XXXX XXXX and their parent company, XXXX, were subject to investigations by various state attorneys general and found to have engaged in deceptive practices. In response to widespread allegations of fraud and misconduct by XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, the Biden administration recently announced a comprehensive loan discharge for students enrolled at these institutions from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX. This led to the discharge of my federal loans totaling {$46000.00} and the restoration of my credit. 
XXXX, which was sued by the attorneys general of XXXX states for its role in facilitating these predatory loans, had a specific arrangement with for-profit schools during the early XXXX, making it a " preferred '' lender. Despite this, the settlement terms provided by XXXX were considerably inadequate, excluding many borrowers who took loans for attendance at approximately 150 for-profit online schools, unless they resided in certain states or had not defaulted for at least seven months during a specified period.

The only period during which I managed to reduce the principal amount was during the pandemic, when interest rates were temporarily lowered to between 0.5 % and 1 %. However, once the regular interest rates resumed, my balance skyrocketed again. This financial strain, coupled with the emotional stress and damage to personal relationships, has been overwhelming. 
Moreover, XXXX exited the federal student loan servicing business amidst legislative and advocacy scrutiny, following allegations of steering borrowers away from income-driven repayment plans towards forbearance, an action for which they had to provide restitution. 
XXXX has also faced multiple lawsuits for other predatory lending and illegal collection practices. Currently, XXXX is distributing " applications '' to select students who may qualify for Borrower Defense claims against their schools. However, this process feels unnecessary and opaque, as XXXX is already aware of the affected students. 
Under the FTC 's " Holder Rule, '' XXXX is accountable for these predatory loans issued in association with for-profit online schools. As time is critical, XXXX XXXX XXXX has urged XXXX XXXX to immediately discharge these loans. It is crucial for XXXX to take responsible action now by discharging all such predatory private loans associated with for-profit online education.
