I enrolled in XXXX university. I was assured by several XXXX XXXX and XXXX Bank that the debt I was acquiring was standard and would be easily repaid upon graduation. However, at graduation I found myself with more than {$200000.00} in private loans with interest rates around 8 % and unable to find a job for more than XXXX months. I am now drowning in monthly payments of about XXXX and they have been very unhelpful and reluctant to help lower my monthly payments. By the time I finish paying the loans off I will have paid them more than {$450000.00}. After paying my loans, I have little over {$50.00} left and rely solely on family to provide simple things like food and shelter. The government needs to intervene to defend the private borrowers from this type of abuse, this lending is immoral and unethical. How are you promoting education by setting students up to live a lifetime of debt and burden? Please help
