Ok, taking a deep breath . . .
I started culinary school in 2002 the school took out a loan for me. The money never was in my hands. 2003 the owner of the school was arrested in November 2003 and the school closed down. There were a bunch of people from the Dept of Education there to counsel us and stuff. I now have Sallie Mae on all three reports reading like this Experian - May/June 90 day and 120 day lates- sold and transferred Transunion - paid as agreed Equifax - May/June 90 day and 120 day lates - sold and transferred We were all given letters that released us from these loans and I never heard anything else about it. It shows payments from Jan 2002 (which is impossible cause I wasn't in school then) I started JUNE 2002 paid until December 2006 . . .now I moved to Honduras in 05 . .who was paying these . . .the money NEVER touched my hands, I never paid a dime ever the school took care of it. What is the FIRST thing I should do . . also it says experian "this item was verified and updated on Sept 2006" I wasn't even in the country during this time?? What is the first thing i should do and no i don't have the letter I lost it in Hurricane Katrina  Amy - Dallas

(1) Get a paper copy of your reports.
(2) Call Sallie Mae at the number listed on the paper copies. (3) This should be easy to clear up. This falls under the "Closed School" heading. http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DCS/loan.c....discharge.html If your school was truly closed, it will be listed here. http://wdcrobcolp01.ed.gov/CFAPPS/FSA/clos.../searchpage.cfm If what you are saying is true, you should have no problem getting this fixed. |

So, let me get this accurately - Your loans were discharged off because the school had been shut down.
& now Sallie Mae is trying to get you to pay? I'm very interested in how long between the time of discharge & the time Sallie Mae started billing you? |

Salliemae probably haven't received any money from the Dept that releases you from these loans. They want back the money loaned.
SM is messing around with your credit in order to get the money from you since no-one has paid them back. Salliemae policy..(if loan was taken out from them it has to be repaid by the student unless the school returns the money). You need to call Salliemae & give them a copy of that letter and also call the Dept of Education to communicate with Salliemae on your behave....and once it is all said & done make SM fix your credit report a.s.a.p becos they are slow in reporting. I once went to a private school too & the school took out a loan for me ($3000)..it never came to me..it went straight to the school..but that school didn't close down  so I had to pay that loan back.And please make it swiftly becos SM don't play....goodluck |

No, Sallie Mae get's paid by the guarantor for a defaulted loan: the DOEd.
Then they come after the borrower - because that gets them more money & obviously, so far nothing has stopped them from this practice of double collecting. |
