If its like mine I pay on the 12, they credit my account on the 23rd and then say I’m late since they didn’t get it on the 17th.

Oh how I cant wait until this thing is paid off.

“I wonder how they prevent defaults?”

Well first of all student loans cannot be discharged through bankruptcy. Second there has been talk of punishing people behind on their payments by revoking other things, like their second amend rights.

If Sallie Mae actually were a real business, they would make loans and collect profits and suffer losses like a real business.

I’m not happy about the demise of these folks, who probably thought they were actually doing something productive, but really, this should not have been a surprise to them if they understood the business they were in.

Same story, different day - government gets bigger, number employed productive taxpayers gets smaller.

Sallie Mae, along with Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, should be eliminated. Bloated fake “private” organizations.

I have it on autopay now,so they take the money on the day they say it's due.

I'll probably wake up some day and find out they drained my bank account through government takeover.

” I have it on autopay now,so they take the money on the day they say it’s due.”

That didn’t work for me. They would apply it to one loan and mark the rest overdue. They receive the money before the due date, they just don’t process it.

“I’ll probably wake up some day and find out they drained my bank account.”

That basically happened.

I secured a student loan through sallie mae this year, after several successful years with other institutions. Sallie Mae is a crappy, expensive, inefficient outfit and I don't care what happens to them. They don't deserve to stay in business anyway. Cost a lot of extra money, and don't have a well functioning billing system, even, which ought to be a minimal expectation.
