Petition

End interest rates on University loans.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We want interest rates on student loans to end as the amount of debt continues to pile up in an economy where many of us are struggling to even get a job.
Interest being charged on top of Student loans is ridiculous as many people who have payed off parts of their student loan are finding that they’re in more debt than they were when they first began paying it off. The state of the economy is also making it so that many people cannot get jobs and are living pay check to pay check or even still living at home, with interest being charged the amount of debt is becoming impossible for many people to pay off in their lifetime.
