MY NAME IS XXXX XXXX AND I HAVE A LOAN WITH SALLIE MAE, THE AMOUNT IS {$10000.00} AND THE INTEREST RATE IS AN UNBELIEVABLE 9 %. I NOTICED THERE ARE FEDERAL LOAN ALTERNATIVES LIKE THE XXXX FOR STUDENTS WITH AN INTEREST RATE OF 3.86 % FIXED AND THE XXXXFOR STUDENTS WITH AN INTEREST RATE OF 5 % FIXED. I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN GET MY INTEREST RATE REDUCED TO THE RATE OF XXXX OF THESE TYPES OF LOANS. I ONLY WORK PART TIME AND I CA N'T AFFORD THE PAYMENT THAT IS REQUIRED UNDER MY CURRENT LOAN. MY ACCOUNT NUMBER : XXXX. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT XXXXXXXXXXXX SO I CAN CHANGE TO A LOWER RATE AS SOON AS POBBIBLE. WHEN I TOOK THIS LOAN OUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A FEDERAL LOAN BECAUSE IT WAS FROM " SALLIEMAE '', BUT WHEN I RECEIVED THE LOAN PAPERS I WAS TOLD IT IS A NONFEDERAL LOAN. THAT IS VERY CONFUSING AND COULD BE DECEITFUL. I AM ATTACHING THE LOAN DOCUMENTS FOR YOU INFORMATION AND THERE ARE XXXX PAGES. THANK YOU XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
