alright… i want to find out where Sallie Mae is, and kill someone. i won’t even begin to start the story of why… anyone with loans through them know.
how do i get rid of them other than pay them off (i don’t have $20k to do that) can i refinance through someone else somehow? there seems to be some financial types on here who might have the info to free me from these chains… either that or i have to get a flight to India.
no… cannot login to pay my bill b/c their website says my address is invalid and i’ve been hung up on going on 6 times by indians. (the durka durka indians) oh wait, i just got hung up on AGAIN. every 6 months or so i fight with them for about a week trying to pay my bill b/c they find some excuse why i can’t login.
Right out of school, I wasn’t working, and had to defer my loans for a 6 month period.
I had like 4 different loans with them, they charged me 150 dollars per loan to defer the loans, it was just a surcharge, not interest or anything.
I refinanced my public loans with Great Lakes, they have been excellent. I refinanced my private loans with Citi, they have been less than stellar, but not as bad as sallie mae.
Sallie is fucking the worst, I have a shit load of money from flight school I owe them, like you said, any deference is a nightmare. The interest rate has come down, although still way way higher than any federal student loan. And NOWHERE will touch mine because it is Private, even though it was used on all schooling costs… also won’t let me extend my terms, I’m pretty much paying a house mortgage… and citi I don’t think will touch my private loans either, but may try them.
bills are bills… i pay them month after month, and then nearly every 6 months something stupid happens, login fails, password mysteriously changes, my address comes up invalid (i own the house…) always something…
wait, what? i think thats the first time ive ever heard someone saying use IE over FF.
i think i might give citi a call next week, sallie mae blows balls. i hate talking to an abu dabu person about important shit like student loans. there needs to be 100% communication. I have asked for someone who speaks english before.
