I complained once already ~ I heard from XXXX XXXX at Discover Student Loans on XX/XX/XXXX. I have not yet once been able to contact her. ( What a joke. ) She does n't actually ever answer her phone. She told me to call the forbearance department. The XXXX time, back in late XXXX, they told me I had to wait until my payment was almost due on XXXX XXXX. I called back today and the guy was explaining that my payments will be larger - almost trying to scare me out of doing a lower payment plan for 6 months. This seems outrageous - what kind of financial help is this? I did understand that they are refusing to extend the terms of the loan. *BUT* they gave me *FALSE INFO* from the beginning and I promise you a rep there told me I could do income based repayment back in Fall XX/XX/XXXX before I signed up with them. But they do n't have a recording -- they do n't care. They are not losing anything in their eyes. All I needed was an estimate of what my loan will look like month-to-month after I go on a reduced payment plan and the guy, XXXX, I believe, he said " Sorry we do n't do that. '' Is that customer service? No, that is pathetic. That is what that is. They care very little. This is called financial slavery. And I could re-finance with another company but get the same exact rates and then destroy my husband 's credit score with a large loan like that. Outrageous - I basically went to college so I could be in financial prison. I can barely afford to pay for my housing and food when I 'm paying $ XXXX/month on student loans - what the heck was the point of college? WHAT A JOKE. Do n't ever sign up for private loans ever!
