    Default Re: Student Loan

    People have probably also told you that if you cut your hair it will grow faster. (Unless it's so long that the weight has caused it to stop growing, that's just plain wrong.) The fact that people tell you something doesn't make it true.

    Consult a bankruptcy lawyer.

    Default Re: Student Loan Default

    The last time I got a statement from them re: my student loan, the amount was less than 3,000.00. It is now well over 5,000.00. with whatever they have added to the amount.
    The collection agency for Sallie Mae ( Pioneer Recovery ) offered to consolidate my loan at a relatively lower percentage than my interest that was accruing on the loan to date. I have 25 years to pay it back, apparently. I researched this a little before I signed the papers. It is the William D. Ford Foundation who offers this debt consolidation. I hope to God that I have not made a huge mistake by signing this.
    The collection agency people always seem so shady while you are going through the process of dealing with them.... I am partially disabled from a car accident which is why I could not start paying the loan off.
    The harassing phone calls were uncalled for too....they called my parents number at all hours and refused to stop calling.
    I asked for an itemized statement and I got a rude supervisor that said " You're just stalling!! ( re: signing the papers which pays off the loan in full and enables you to get another loan for school if needed SUPPOSEDLY ) I told her that I thought that I was entitled to an itemized statement. She said, " Well, you're not getting one."
    I told her I was a first year law student, and that I remember reading some place that anyone involved in a financial transaction is entitled to a itemized statement....she let up after that, but I still do not have a statement!!!!
    I would not be surprised if they tack on extra and people pay it without even checking.
    I called my school and got a balance and asked the collection agency for THEIR balance ( collection fees and interest accrued ) and added it all together. It was at least 450.00 OVER what I owed.
    HOW THE HELL DO YOU CORRECT IT?
    It seems as though not many people know about student loan procedures, and it seems that we are just expected to accept the loan amount without question. I do not think this is fair, and it should not be legal if it is.
