I am a former XXXX student. I took out their private Genesis loan when I XXXX applied in 2012. I was promised flexible repayment options and an easy manageable monthly payment. It was all going well until XXXX and XXXX of this year when I suddenly found myself short on money. I was denied a deferement for the XXXX dollar charge, so I did what I could, and in the span of a week paid XXXX XXXX dollar payments to cut down on the now past due payment of 340 dollars. Despite paying XXXX XXXX dollar payments to Genesis Lending in the span of just one week, my balance for XXXX still reads 340 dollars. Now I am aware that companies send late payments towards interest charges instead of the actual loan amount, but the fact that even after XXXX payments in one week led to absolutely no reduction in the extravagant payment leads me to reconsider what this so called fair and honest company does with my hard earned money. I consider myself lucky enough to have a job in the field I had studied for but it was all due to my own searching, the school never helped me with a solid lead for a career, and I feel very cheated by Genesis lending. The name of my now defunct school is XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, California, XXXX. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
