So my daughter starts paying her student loan in January

27. This repayment tactic was discussed over at Naked Capitalism.

And so many there agreed that your chances of even getting to talk to someone at Sallie Mae who would do this for you is about the same chances you take when playing MegaMillions. Doesn't matter if you meet the criteria or not - people are shut out of this process, just as other Americans were shut out of help for avoiding foreclosure.

Our politicians make sure that programs exist - but they also, since they are controlled by the Big FRIGGIN' Bankster Crowd, make sure that the programs are impossible to actually utilize.

Although the folks inside the Beltway, (including Reid, Pelosi, Obama, etc, supposedly Democrats!,) have already decided that there is simply NO WAY to bring jobs back to America, if someone inside the Beltway had the will to do it, Sallie Mae matters would not be in the hands of third world people, many of whom are in their teens and some of whom do NOT speak English. (Okay they speak pidgin English, but that is it.) How a person can discuss important legal concepts in such a situation is a crime.

I was so disgusted by the lack of English fluency and lack of minimal legal knowledge by the first person that called here about M's student loan that I called the Sallie Mae headquarters to ask to speak to the top Administrator there. I got that person's assistant, and they gave me a different number, after I stressed that we needed to talk to someone at Sallie Mae who spoke English. Imagine how I felt when I ended up speaking with a second pidgin English speaking person!
