Sallie Mae Student Loan Complaint

Sallie Mae Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Having problems with customer service North Carolina

I had gotten - student loans through Sallie Mae, the - was a loan that would not require any payment till I was out of school. The - I had applied for, to my understanding, would be the same as the -. Come to find out a month and a half later I was behind on a payment of - dollars. No big deal, but it was never explained clearly that I would have to make those payments while I was still in school. The six months then passed since I was out of school and I was to start making the payments on my loans, it was about - dollars a month for - not bad that 's deal-able, a few months afterwards my payments pretty much doubled, and I have been struggling to keep my payments up to date and current ever since, all to save my credit so there would be no bad marks on it from falling behind on a student loan. It was starting to get difficult so I had called looking for help but came up empty handed. So I tried to just deal with it. Well the time had come where I had


Three months behind due to financial problems, and still the only thing offered to me was forbearance. I was finally able to get caught up with no help from Sallie Mae, but shortly after I received a letter in the mail from them. This letter consisted of options that could be offered to me and that I could apply for to help me with the process of paying my loans back. I called to ask about these options and was denied again. they told me they had no idea what letter I was looking at because they had no record of sending anything to me, both me and my cosigner received the letter the same day. I called and complained to Sallie Mae demanding to know about these options but because I was caught up they could no longer offer me anything other than, you guessed it, forbearance. I then filed a complaint with the - and the next day Sallie Mae called to get my side of the story. Today I received the follow up call from talking with Sallie Mae, they were to review my case and find out what they could do for me. Again they gave me the same run around of you 're loans are current we cant do anything the only thing we can offer is forbearance. I have called and asked and asked and all I get is sorry we ca n't help the only thing we can offer is forbearance. All I want is help, but they have done nothing to help.
