I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, MO from XXXX. I received an XXXX. I am now in student loan debt, including Parent Plus Loans, around {$75000.00}. The loan document presentation was completely rushed-it was not explained to me at the time of the student loan applications what exactly I was signing, and when asked for further information, I was told that they could possibly refund most if not all of the loan amount that was being taken out. It was also explained to me at one point when the amount was much higher than before that my previous semester 's tuition was combined with the upcoming semester, which is why the loan amount was so high. I felt rushed, but I was very young and inexperienced. My father also does not remember having the Parent Plus loans explained, and he is a very detail-oriented person. He did not remember signing for the loan, and has since requested copies of the loan documents to be sure that he actually signed for them. I requested time with financial advisors several times during my tenure, and was told that the loan amounts were not very high, and they 'd actually discounted this class or that, etc. Usually blaming it on books, which were included in my loans but cost was astronomical. I was not allowed to choose to go without the books, even though we never used or referenced them. It was all rolled into my tuition and subsequent loans. 

I 'm now a parent and have a relatively good job for someone with an XXXX, but I have a lifelong illness that sometimes prevents me from working, and so receiving sustainable income. I have Navient threatening to sue me and begin garnishing my wages if I do n't settle with them immediately, and XXXX is {$30000.00} worth of loans that are on forbearance and just gaining interest. My parents are paying the Parent Plus loans so it does n't affect their credit rating, and my wife is looking for a XXXX job to try and get a handle on this. We are drowning in this debt, and I 'm not sure how I will ever dig us out of this hole. My wife and I make decent money, and should be looking at houses and schools for our son, but instead we are living in my parent 's basement, paying them rent, and simply making it paycheck to paycheck to try and keep Navient from garnishing my wages. We need help.
