Barbhenn Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 In the late 80's I went to bankruptcy court and they reworked my student loan. I am paying $300 until I am 78 years old, twelve more years, and I am paying 7% interest. I called and wrote Petra Shipman who was the person I always spoke to about defaulted loans asking how much I would have to pay if I were to pay it early. I'm thinking, like a mortgage you would save on interest. First she sent me a statement just showing where I was and the same payment until I'm 78 years old. Then she wouldn't call back. I sent a certified letter asking for information. I received no response. The company used to be Sallie Mae then USA Funds. Now it is called Navient. Does anyone have any suggestion? I was thinking of taking money out of my retirement so I wouldn't pay 7% interest. ThanksBarbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoCares1000 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Good luck getting a direct answer from any of those people. You might want to contact Sallie Mae directly. If that does not work, contact the CFPB and/or your congress critter and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabirthapar Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I had applied for my GRAD loan and it was denied. Can anyone tell me how to proceed further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should start your own thread on this but WHY was it denied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
