Lack of transparency and leaves you helpless 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.

Best decision ever Real easy to switch over. FANTASTIC rates as opposed to Sallie Mae. Reconciliation is the greatest thing to do for a bulk of different loans with horrible interest rates. The process is simple as long as you have the needed information abs their team works fast to respond to what is needed/pending.

I had a bill due I had a bill due, and no notice was given. I got a call from a rep, but they wouldn't even say what it was regarding and just ask for sensitive information with no guarantee who it was. I sure hope this isn't how you regularly conduct business. I would expect a call and an explanation, but won't hold my breath.

Mid-Informed about co-signer being removed from the loan. December of 2022 I called customer service and asked when I could get the cosignor/myself off the loan. I was informed of 12 consecutive payments. Here we are in January 2024,now they're stating I have to make 24 consecutive payments. They can't a supervisor on the phone fast enough!! NEVER AGAIN#FACTS

I am happy to be able to reconsolidate BUT… I am happy to be able to reconsolidate my loans BUT i had to do the application process 4 times over the phone before LendKey was able to get it right. the information transfer between them and credible was awful. Even after talking with them on the phone they still submitted the wrong loan and i had to get it redacted just for them to submit the same loan again. what should have been a month long process took almost 3.
