DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID WITH PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS.
Sallie Mae has ruined my life. My loans are extremely high (over $1800 a month) and they are never willing to work with struggling individuals. I recently lost my gov job. I told them I can’t pay. I can refinance as my information was stolen so my credit is poor. I can’t even file for unemployment since none of my termination files are even processed yet. They do not care. They have never cared. Please, save yourself. Do NOT do private.
