Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Subissue: Problem with forgiveness, cancellation, or discharge

Consumer Complaint: I borrowed " originally '' {$25000.00} - I deferred for 10 years - being a single mother raising XXXX children I could not afford to provide the care they needed and pay my student loans. In XXXX, I started working for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, full time. I applied for loan forgiveness, as it was my understanding working for a non-profit company/State or government company would allow for loan forgiveness. I applied for loan forgiveness around XXXX ( maybe earlier ). I received a letter that I " did not qualify ''. I have contacted my lender ( AES ) and they told me my loans are not eligible for loan forgiveness. By XXXX, when I could " almost '' afford to start repaying my loans, my new balance was greater than {$60000.00}. I did receive a few deferments in my early years of repayment but now am told I do not qualify for deferment. I left working for the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in XXXX and started working for the XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, where I continue to work full time. I am a XXXX XXXX and I worked through the pandemic and while I love my job, working for XXXX XXXX XXXXs not a huge salary. I just put in a new application for PSLF and after filling this out a message came across the screen that " this program ended in XXXX of XXXX. I am frustrated and can't seem to get the answers needed to make this ridiculous loan amount affordable. I have MORE than paid back what I borrowed in XXXX and honestly, will never live long enough to pay this loan off. In the almost 20 years I've been paying on this loan it has only dropped a few XXXX dollars. This makes no sense to me. I really need some help and have no idea how or where to get it. You are my last option at this point. I don't understand how with all the billions of dollars being forgiven by our current political administration, how I, with a 30 year loan, that I have paid on for the last 20, do not qualify for any graces. Any help you can provide would be so greatly appreciated! Respectfully submitted, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX - loan name )
