XXXX UniversityXXXX XXXXI was a University student that began my education XX/XX/XXXX. After taking a break XX/XX/XXXX because of work, I restarted XX/XX/XXXX and was told I had to get a XXXX loan to get started again. NEVER was I told that I was going to have to make payments while in school. NEVER was I told that the interest rate was going to be 8 %. They say I did n't qualify for funding but yet I did before and I did afterwards so it was very strange to me that I had to get a higher interest rate loan from a 3rd party. XXXX was the only option that was given to me at the time. I have been paying on this loan for 3 years and have missed only XXXX payment which was the XXXX payment because I did n't know that I had to start paying on it while in school. It has been a struggle for me to pay for my federal loans and my private XXXX loan at the same time. My loan was then sold to UAS XX/XX/XXXX this year. I do n't feel the practices that XXXX performed were in my best interest financially but what choice did I have. My loan was for roughly XXXX. This loan was necessary for me to complete the program that I was involved in so doing it was necessary and they knew that. If I did n't take out the loan, than I had school loans for roughly XXXX with nothing to show for it.
