I just graduated my XXXX program at the end of XXXX. I paid all of XXXX student loan payments on time. Then I went on a 2 week trip abroad, and could not be reached during that time. My loan payments are not due until the XXXX of this month, and it is XXXX XXXX. When I received a call from a Sallie Mae rep, I told him I would call on the Monday after I returned ( XXXX XXXX ). Sallie Mae 's automated program called me today ( Sunday ) a total of XXXX times with a recording that said to call back Monday. This is harassment, when a bill is not even due! I can not call them back to get them to quit harassing me because the recording says they are only open Monday through Friday! I was trying to spend time with my family and the phone was ringing off of the hook. This is completely unacceptable behavior by the loan agency. I am recently graduated, and intended to work on the process of consolidation this coming week after returning home from my trip. XXXX ( a company that is related to Sallie Mae ) also called me multiple times this evening. With XXXX, the caller i.d . showed up as " unavailable '' and the lady immediately asked me to verify my birthdate. I am not about to give my birthdate to a stranger on the phone with an unavailable callback number ( in case of identity theft ). She was very rude to me and hostile and told me " You better call us back then! '' ( as if I am the one who is in the wrong ). This is all completely unnecessary. I have been paying on my loans throughout my time in school. Calling me XXXX times in one day from Sallie Mae and XXXX times in one day from XXXX is harassment and is not legal. These companies should both be cited for violating the law.
