I don't know who the author of this article spoke to, but she in no way showed the true nature of what is going on. Take my case for example. I borowed 6500.00 to attend a semester of school. I only would borrow one semester at a time. During this semester, I got sick, real sick. Think 4 months hospitilization..I filed not 1,2 but 3 sets of medical deferment papers..guess what?..all 3 sets were "lost" and I was put into immediate default, but not on the 6500.00, Good 'ol Sallie May said I had borowed 13,000. All requests for a statement, financial records went unanswered. This was 12 years ago and it has been a constant fight ever since. Over 6,000 dollars worth of tax returns were taken and just "Disappeared", meaning they were NOT applied to my balance; Also, I was told that any payment less than 750.00/month was unacceptable; they would take nothing less.
I chose nothing
My curent "balance" on my "account" is well over 30,000 dollars and grows by the year..sometimes The number evenn goes DOWN, as if the number is simply pulled out of thin air, as I said, all requests for a statement have fell upon deaf ears. I have written myn Congressman, and was told by his assistant to, in effect, just shut up and pay your bills...a sure sign the fix is in, so I do not expect any relief from my government
Perhaps Mrs Luthern should have done a bit of research before picking up her pen. The press and their ignoring of the subject is a huge part of the problem....
