I have previously submitted a report on XXXX XXXX and XXXX, now I would like to submit my complaint with SallieMae. 

I have XXXX SallieMae loans, XXXX being 7.2 % interest equaling {$7300.00} and the other being 3.5 % interest equaling {$6000.00} ( I believe 3.5 % is the lowest on any of my private student loans so only XXXX of them is feasible ). 

The problem with the loan is NOT the amount, rather the fraudulent interest rates I am being charged. Because the interest continues to compound, my payments barely eat into the principal leaving me with a bigger loan than I started. 

I make every payment on time, however it seems to make little difference if I pay more than what is due. This is ruining my credit report because my debt to income ratio looks horrible, even though I make all my payments on time. 

What this is effectively doing is keeping me from getting any sort of loan to buy a house, or put a dime back into the economy. It does appear as though this will be the case for a long while unless something is down to lower my interest rates to an acceptable level. 

Paying $ XXXX- {$1200.00} a month in student loans is not feasible when I am barely cutting into the principal and lowering the loan amount. In every case of my loans, they are now currently bigger than when I first received them even though I am paying this amount of money EACH month. This should not be allowed and is a form of XXXX 

I am not asking for my loans to be forgiven, however I am asking that my interest rates be put at a normal level of almost all other loans in this country at 2 % interest. There is no reason I should be suffering from an fraudulent interest rate ; students should not be punished for seeking a higher education. 

After calling each of these companies several times, I have found NO help in trying to refinance my loans. The only option I get is to go into forbearance, which would mean a lifetime of debt for me and possibly other family members. 

Please review my case and understand where I am coming from. I can not express enough how these interest rates undermine my consumer rights.
