My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Oregon
I filed Chapter 7 in July of 2005. My attorney wanted to get everything filed prior to the changes in the laws taking effect in Oct. 2005. This way, he was able to include private student loans that were taken out for study outside of the US in 2000.
Needless to say, SallieMae is not honoring the discharge of those loans. They insist that I am now in default and, although my credit report reflects the discharge status, I'm receiving phone calls to settle the debt or face the consequences.
My attorney does not seem too worried as he feels this is standard intimidation by SallieMae. I have instructed them, in writing, numerous times to contact my attorney and they have yet to do so and continue to call and attempt to collect on a debt that has been discharged. What else can I do?
I would like this issue to be resolved. I filed Bankruptcy in order to get on with my life following a car accident. It's been nearly 6 years since discharge.
Thanks for your insight.
