Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan can't temporarily postpone payments

Sallie Mae Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan Can't temporarily postpone payments Arizona

Sallie Mae gives you a standard six months before you have to start making your loan pay backs. When that six months was up I applied for a forbearance for the loans because my husband is in - program and we are not making it on what I make alone. The time has come to repay the loans once again and we are behind in the loan payments. I called after getting letters in the mail and tried to see if I could do another forbearance and they said that I could not. I can make the payment on one but not the other. They stated that I would have to make a payment in order to get information from customer service. I am trying to see the options and they were holding information for ransom. Stating that I was not be able to find out anything without making a payment. Then, I say OK and made a payment and asked if then I could get to the customer service for repayment options and they " tried '' to transfer me over but it did n't work. So then the rep stated that I should call from a phone number that is not on my file so I can get some repayment info. If i use my husbands number or mine it would just route back to collections and they states that they do n't have the same info that customer service has. So I guess I am going to make what payments that I can until I can get more info or help. I really feel like we are being punished for trying to better ourselves through schooling. My husband has at least another year and a half before he is done with his program.
