College of Cash - finding money for college

I Hate Being Angry and Stressed About Loans

May 6th 2008 18:58
So the consolidation loan I applied for through Chase, the one I mentioned a few times, yeah didn't happen.

I had emailed them about a week ago, and the email just said I'd have to call. Well, I hate the phone, almost have a phobia of it, and I got kind of busy last week so I didn't get to it. Today I call. The lady on the other end of the line then tries to tell me they tried to contact me, then mailed something that I needed to send back, and then tried to contact me again about the mailing. I'm assuming the "contact" me part meant calling me. I never got a freaking call from them, never got any mail from them except for stupid stuff about my credit cards. I'm so mad. So now I hate them as well.

Since that one wasn't going to happen (they are not doing any more consolidation loans for a while - says so on their website, plus the lady told me that), I decided to try the one my mom had found for me before I had done the chase one. (I did chase first because I thought it would be easier to pay that one online, plus I could pay extra and it would be automatically applied to principle amount). I get to that website, enter everything in, try to do the electonic signature, only it wants me to find something on a PDF that won't come up on my computer. It told me the file was damaged and that I can't see it. WHAT?! Ok, try again.

Same response. By now I'm pissed and wanting to throw things. So I call my mom. Ask her to do it and see if her computer will like her. If all else fails, we could try the printing it off because she has a printer.

For some reason, her computer likes her and it works. I immediately got an email saying that my loan is being processed. Thank goodness. Hopefully this one will actually work.

In some good, related news, checking out Sallie Mae and my private loans, the payments will only be $96 and some change. This is lower than originally planned when the email from them said $138 a month.

Phew. That was more of a rant than anything, but I feel better now.
