Sallie Mae Reviews

Borrowed $150,00. Illness, cannot pay. Debt now I've $250,000.

A process that seems to be working for us. My attorney is subpoenaing "all" phone calls that we have had with Sallie Mae (each and every phone call without exception). What this does:

(1) after stating that they record them (which they claim to do on every phone call) and then claiming not to have them, not to have access to them, then it can be argued that SM was lying in the establishing: (1) of the initial loan and (2) the collecting of the alleged debt in its present state.

(2) if they claim not to have them, then they cannot prove that your loans were not renegotiated or completely forgiven since this is where they initially set up such deals. 'I recall a conversation regarding loan renegotiation and another on loan forgiveness, so I was expecting to be in a better financial condition than I am presently in. I need the recordings (plural) - each and every one - to refresh my memory on the exact nature of the details.'

(3) if they finally provide them (it is a long process and they may no longer have them, which means they cannot verify that the present loans actually exist), then your attorney may be able to argue illegal collection methods, actually find where SM promised certain things and then later did not follow thru, or that SM promised a renegotiation, which they failed to fulfill. etc. ..

It is your right as a debtor to have access to these all phone calls - every one of them without exception. Subpoena them in a Chapter 7/13 proceeding. Insist upon it. Refuse to proceed without them.

All these are good for the debtor. It is working for us. Hope this helps others.

Maybe we should file a class action suit to subpoena "all" - each and every without exception (not just the ones they made to you "and others" but those you made to them too) - phone calls?

Last year I attended a University, (South Carolina State University), and had to take a Parent PLUS Loan in order to attend my first year of college. After I finished my first year, Sallie Mae started sending me payments not even a month after I finished. Unfortunately, I am not able to attend that school anymore due to financial issues. So I decided to attend a Technical College closer to where I stay now. Sallie Mae stated that she will not start sending bills intill after you finish school or 6 months if not attending. So why am I getting bills a month after I finish only my first year of college? I've recieved 5 bills already and now I have the 6th right infront of me and its no longer a certain amount, it had gone up. I understand that there is an interest. But what I don't understand is why I'm recieveing bills when I'm not even finishing with school and is currently in school as we speak. I feel like Sallie Mae is a very impatient company and it needs to be re-evaluated. I refuse to make payments as a college student. I can't afford it.

This has happened at least 6 times over the years during my relationship with Sallie Mae. Instead of calling you, or sending you a letter requesting that you call them (either one of these methods would be the professional and courteous thing to do), they block my on-line access to my account for no apparent reason. The message they give me is, "We're sorry, we're unable to process your request on-line. Please call us...." That's a bunch of crap. I receive monthly emails from Sallie Mae encouraging me to sign on to my account to review and/or print my monthly statement and/or make a payment. I'm pretty certain that I can't make an on-line payment unless I have access to my account. I find that the tactics they use with customers are sneaky and underhanded. Once I have paid off my loan, I will never, ever have anything to do with them again. That includes all of my children when they attend college and are looking for finanacial aid.
