I was in the XXXX program at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX College in Iowa. I had taken out all of the federal loans that I could available to me. The head of the hygiene department recommends you do n't work during the program because it is so difficult. XXXX recommended the Wells Fargo student loan program. I was naive signing up for the loan because I thought I could pay it off quickly after school. I could n't have been more wrong. 

Unfortunately, I was moderately XXXX right out of XXXX school from a bad XXXX who called me by the wrong name then XXXX Not Wells Fargo 's fault but I have been working full time in constant pain making a good income to pay off this student loan. I am struggling to pay it off because the interest on the loan is so high. And I 'm doing that because I want to do what 's right and pay off the amount I borrowed from Wells Fargo. It 's a 30 year loan and the interest rate is 12.24 %. Almost all of the payment goes to the interest on the loan, not the principal. The amortization schedule is crippling. 

I took out {$20000.00} initially. By the time I started repayment after XXXX, I owed $ 27,000+. I 've been paying for 5 years totaling {$12000.00} and the principal balance still owed is {$24000.00}. We 've asked them repeatedly if they would accept a payout amount and have been turned down and they want {$24000.00}. We 've even stopped making payments at their customer service staff 's recommendation which damaged my credit to see if they would work with us. I was almost to default ( I cringe thinking about it ) and no luck they would not work with us. Also, Wells Fargo denied their customer service reps would ever recommend that to us. 

I found out another girl from my XXXX class is struggling with the same issue. I 'm not alone. I ca n't even imagine how many other past students are struggling with this right now. Please, I beg you not to take out a Wells Fargo student loan so they can no longer offer this predatory loan to consumers.
