Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Bankruptcy
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Received 4 loans from Sallie Mae for education totaling {$33000.00}. Shortly after graduation and repayment began, we were forced to file XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy due to not being able to afford payments. During the 5 year XXXX  XXXX plan we were paying Sallie Mae every month through our trustee. We were just granted access again to online account, Somehow after paying 60 months worth of payments, when we got out of the plan and discharged, the amount was up to almost {$48000.00}. So we gained {$15000.00} in additional balance. How does this happen? How is this legal? And what is the point of bankruptcy if you come out in worse shape than you went in? And during bankruptcy we are not allowed to see our online account and how the payments are allocated, so we have to just take their word that is applied correctly. If we could see interest racking up at a rate of $ XXXX per year, we may have been able to do something at the time rather than just be saddled with 30 % extra debt a the end. Please do something about these predatory loans.
