Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Keep getting calls about my loan Georgia

I received a loan from Sallie Mae -/-/2016 to help pay for my schooling at - - University in Alabama. The loan amount was for $10000.00. I am the primary on the loan and my grandmother is the cosigner. For the past three months ( starting -/-/2016 ), Sallie Mae has been hounding my grandmother and myself to start paying the interest on the loan. I told them that I am still a fulltime student at - and can not make payments right now because I do not work. I told them that I would like to defer the payments until I graduated. I was told that I did not make that choice at the beginning of applying for the loan ; so I filled out a deferment form and faxed it to Sallie Mae. The calls stopped for a week, and then started right back. They were calling my grandmother five and six times a day asking her for money. My grandmother told them to stop calling and that we already faxed in the Deferment Form to Sallie Mae, however, each time se spoke with them, they gave her a different explanation as to why they still were calling and why the Deferment Form was no good. The customer service representatives for Sallie Mae, as well as the Managers my grandmother and I spoke with were rude and aggressive. My grandmother is - years old and they were very disrespectful to her. I have an Aunt that is a debt collections attorney and she even spoke with Sallie Mae asking what exactly was the issue with accepting the Deferment Form ; however, when Sallie Mae found out she was an attorney, they told her that everything was fine and they would update my account to show that the Deferment Form was received and to stop calling. However, the calls started again a week after that phone call and are still continuing to this day ... even after my grandmother told Sallie Mae to stop calling and correspond with her only through mail documents.
