When I refinanced, I initially accepted with LendKey because I was under the impression it was a fixed rate. Turns out that was not correct and now it has been steadily increasing every three months, I am not in the double digits of interest rates when I only accepted this refinancing because of the lower interest rates than my previous loan. Over the first year with them I paid over $12,000 and my loan only decreased by $3,000. Recently, I returned to school and went to request an in school deferment. The only option they provide is a forbearance which can only take place up to 18 months (shorter than the period I will be in school), and you are still expected to make some kind of monthly contribution to the loan. I feel as if though it will be impossible to pay off this loan ever with the continual increases in rates. I left Sallie Mae for this company because I thought the experience would be better, I was wrong.
