Put an end to high variable student loan interest rates
Sign Now
I am one of many college students that is being taken advantage of by private students loans and I think it is time that the federal government steps in and puts a cap on the interest rates that banks and loan companies are allowed to charge us.
I do not want to be in debt for the rest of my life and think that it is completely unfair that banks and loan companies are maximizing profits over dire necessities that are essential to success such as an education.
By signing this petition, I am in concurrence to the statements above and strongly urge the federal government to respond to my request.

Sallie Mae is a corrupt rip off to the education system. PUT A CAP ON PRIVATE EDUCATE LOANS OR PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR REFINANCE TO THOSE WHO DESERVE IT FOR FIXED RATES.

I have a master's degree, which used to be worth something; but with the deception employed by lenders (public and private) and the nonchalant manner in which the money was loaned, I am completely unable to even make the payments required to keep the loan

Our current system of private student loan funding for students to receive a college education (that we should all be entitled to without having to completely ruin our financial standing) is an atrocity! I think it should be considered a crime what our go

With rates so low we should be able to get better fixed rate loans. 8.56 fixed is ridiculous no one is making 8.5\% on loans I just got a car loan at 4.4\%. Hope this helps

I think private student loan interest rates should be capped and I think there should be a maximum amount cap. I also think teenagers should be give a full understanding of what they are signing away on. I also think it is irresponsible for anyone to grad
