      <description><![CDATA[Stephanie White, United States of America<p>Interest rates end up being more than the loan was worth and instead of being able to retire with a nice house, we are forced to pay on our loans until after retirement and not able to put our children through school. Why are honest, tax paying Americans punished for doing the right thing (getting an education and earning an honest living) but still cannot afford to live a normal life? It is unjust that we will have to keep paying off interest until after retirement.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[James Bates, Canton, Michigan, United States of America<p>Years ago I went to school and got loans from sallie mae without fully understanding their practices - since then these loans and payments they have asked for have grown to be completely unmanageable and I feel as though I have been duped!! They keep having collection agencies call and threaten me with all different sorts of scary options, most times late at night and they even call my parents!! Something needs to be done!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Allyson Nolde, United States of America<p>My partner and her cosigner (her mother) have been harrassed, lied to and been the victim of misallocated payments and irresponsible handling of deferment, etc etc. I am so disgusted and outraged by Sallie Mae&#039;s manipulative and deceitful business practices. They have screwed over probably hundreds of thousands of students and it&#039;s about time someone does something to put a stop to it. Hell, maybe even see to the students getting back the surplus &quot;interest&quot; that this monster company has been pocketing. *** you, Sallie Mae. I hope someone goes fightclub on your shady a$$.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Gene Church, United States of America<p>I too am a Sallie Mae loan recipient. Optimistic about going back to school I ignorantly signed on the dotted line. My student loans totaled $48,619.00 when school was all said and done. I have been in repayment for a few years now, and have paid nearly $25,000 back, but my total balance is still $56,000! I got a great education in all things mechanical and was hired right out of school as a dealership technician making good money. But not so good that $900 a month payments to Sallie Mae were no big deal. I was going broke so I had to lower my payments. Sallie Mae&#039;s extended re-payment plan (which is all I can afford and still a lot at $700+ a month) ensures I will be in repayment indefinitely. I hope something good happens soon. Going broke trying to better my life. =(</p>]]></description>

The orignal loan was 10,000.00 they say I owe now 32,000. Noone can give me info on ANY past payments because it has been sold to collections. This is unfair and makes it impossible for a person to come out of debt.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs. Janice Gorman, San Jose, CA, United States of America<p>I am witnessing the unfair lending practices of Sallie Mae policies undermine the post-graduation period of my youngest son.  He has be confronted by exorbitant fees and unrelenting harassment for payment without any means for a change in terms.  Congress must investigate these unfair practices to alleviate the burdens of our younger generation.</p>]]></description>

It has been 10 years since I graduated and I only have paid on the intrest amount. I am 36 years old, with a debt of $42,000.00+intrest in college loans.  I work in the social work field (helping Homeless Veterans). My payment per month is $332.00.  So much for wanting to help our society.  But if I where a teacher or help with AmeriCorp  I would recieve,wow $4000.00 for 10 months Thanks SallieMae</p>]]></description>

They told me I may payments would be 350$ a month. When graduated, they were nearly 800$ a month. Also my interest rate is nearly 13%. I have no chance of ever paying off this loan in my lifetime. Because of Sally Mae, going to college was the worst mistake of my life.  My life is ruined but please help the future generation.</p>]]></description>

They are horrible to deal with and we would have never dealt with them knowing all of this - but the &quot;college&quot; said they were the best.

      <description><![CDATA[Mr David Harmon, Bristol, TN, United States of America<p>There are usually hidden rates and fees that are not shown to the 18 year old finance virgin.  I previously paid off a &quot;student loan&quot; that ended up costing me MUCH more than it was worth. My friend received a BA in Education and now owes 15O,000. He pays 1200+/month, just to pay the interest...He makes 28,000/year before taxes teaching. Our leaders have to get this unethical banking practice under control.  By the time many students pay their loan fees there is little left over bills.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs. Judy Lombard-Newell, United States of America<p>they harassed us and our daughter - were belligerent on the phone, did not follow through with forebearance, added charges and fees to the original loan balance and continue calling/harassing even after the loan was paid off.  I have never had such a horrible experience - not even with a credit card company!</p>]]></description>
