I too have had a bad deal with this company. Sallie mae is not a good loan company for students. I have student loans with them that amount to $25k. I have sucessfully put most of them into deferment or forebarence. However I have 2 private loans with them that at the time I didn't know were private. I have Since Oct. 2011 been trying to tell them to put my 2 private loans into forebarence they are refusing to. I am not able to return to school yet or get a job due to recovery from a broken leg. I told the rep that I spoke to to put the 2 private ones into forebarence but he said that it would not be wise and to continue to make my payments. I told him I can't and I would have the $100 for the forebarence sometime in Feburary 2012. He refused to do that I hung up. I keep getting calls at least 15 times a day to pay the payments. I finally couldn't take the phone ringing and sent a cese and decist letter. They have stopped the phone calls. However, I am showing deliquent of 141 days on my acct. If I told them I could not make the payment monthly then they should have let me pay the $100 forebarence fee to stop the payments. I am very mad and do not care anymore. I still want to finish school and hope that I can, however, I am not taking out anymore student loans. I will work part time and pay that way. I am on food stamps and have a 10yr old daughter to take care of. My soon to be husband offered to pay the fee for me but they refused to take it. I hope everyone else reading this does the same and not deal with liars Sallie Mae. They are crooked and don't care. If a lawsuit is started aganist them then I want in. They need to be taken down.
