Hi there! New to the board here and had a very urgent question:
Is there any help with Sallie Mae Loans? I was enrolled into a program at the new year and just today they tell me it was an "error" and say I am 6 months behind and they will default! I am trying to pay my debt and eat still eat is all--no lofty dreams.
I am severely underemployed--(I have my foot in the door with a decent employer, but its only partime at this point)looking for more work and can't afford much---at this point anything over the $50.00 month graduate payment program I thought I was in will eat into my grocery money (and I'm already living on ramen and peanut butter)or gas money (there isnt a well established transit system where I live or work).
Sallie Mae says I have used all my forbearnce and deferment but I just didnt think I'd be in this situation with over 25,000.00 in private loans breathing down my neck.
I just need a helping hand in this rough patch--I am not trying to duck out of the Loan.
I also filed a complaint with the CFPB [URL="http://www.consumerfinance.gov/"]http://www.consumerfinance.gov/[/URL] last month but that will take time so I am at a loss--what can I do?
I have had this company hovering around me since 2004---wish I had never gone to culinary school....
