I'm not happy with the interest rate…
I'm not happy with the interest rate advertisements. In the Summer of 2025, our rate was ~3%. Summer of 2026 my rate is 9.9%.
Credit score is 820.

Reply from College Ave
Chris - Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how concerning it can be to see different interest rate from one application to the next. Interest rates are determined using a variety of factors, not just credit score, as our review considers the applicant's overall credit profile at the time of application. Additionally, rates may change over time based on market conditions and other industry factors. We appreciate you trusting College Ave and value your feedback.
