I received a student loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX. It was my XXXX year and I had run out of money to attend and exhausted all of my choices. I was told by the school that I would be able to roll this loan into my XXXX. Also, the rep from XXXX stated that that would be the best way to handle my loans. Well, I graduate, start on the paperwork and found out that I can not do this. What really caught me off guard is that this loan is basically treated like a credit card, with a variable rate. I am XXXX years old, divorced with a child ( XXXX years old ), and XX/XX/XXXX is my payoff date! I do not know what to do. I 'm trying to by a home, but need to take care of my family. The job I have does not even come close to paying my loans off. I do work for a XXXX and have over XXXX years in the XXXX. I qualified for loan forgiveness on my XXXX, but not on my private loan. I did not even know I was receiving this type of loan. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
