I had not received any other communication from them since we signed our son up for a trade school in sept. of 2008. I received this letter in march of 2009. I recently received a call from a salley mae collection agency stating we owed 3 payments of our loan. Talking to a salley mae rep was pathetic. I told him in my opnion we didn't have a loan as the letter stated. He said, he didn't care what the letter said that we did in fact have a loan and were responsible for it. I asked why we never received any payment notification or coupon book. He said we agreed to do all business via e-mail. Which we never did. All he wanted to know is if we were going to pay the back past due amount. I told him if he could show me in writing that i have a loan then we could go from there. he wouldnt provide any other info unless i agreed to pay back payments. He raised his voice and continued to interupt. I told him that if he continues to interupt me that our conversation will be over. He hung up on me. It is going to be a war, i can see.

These jerks lied to me and tried intimidating me with all kinds of B.S. The best part of it, was when they said that I better act now, cuz my loan is accuing 4% interest daily! Yeah right, if that was true, my $2800 loan would be more than the whole solar systems total economic value in a few years.

Sallie Mae and their debt collectors are the most heartless people! They use profanity against me, threaten to take away my nursing license and garnish my wages for 1/2 of my salary! What's next. Good lord, I only owe $4800. Well, four months ago I owed $3900...now according to Sallie Mae I owe $4800. The exact same thing is happening to me currently.

I want to join whatever lawsuit I can against Sallie Mae. They are the most ruthless, vindictive and heartless company I have ever talked to. Good luck to everyone. I feel your pain.

He sees Sallie Mae as a helper and a company which gives students a helping hand. This delusion has led him to cry out against Senator Ted Kennedy’s calls for reform and changes in the student loan industry. And seriously why would an industry that gets paid even when students default, hires strong arm collections agents, holds your federal loans hostage, and is being investigated for improper realtions with student financial aid offices need any kind of reform?
