I attended XXXX XXXX University to further my education after High School. I was a first time generation college student in my family and I was unable to afford my college education without student loans. I looked into Sallie Mae and they assured me they would work with me once I was graduated. Instead of explaining that it is better to take our yearly loans, they told me semester loans would be the best. After XXXX college, I had XXXX separate loans at Sallie Mae at 9 % interest a piece. I sent in XXXX monthly payments of {$25.00} for XXXX loans to lower my interest rate during college. However, for XXXX years, my mother and I were harrassed by the company for " not paying the payments on time '' even though my mom sent checks every month. My mother works at our bank and has copies of all checks sent to Sallie Mae with the dates written and when they were cashed by Sallie Mae. In XXXX of 2015, XXXX sent back only ONE of my XXXX payments and said I did not have any loans with them. How XXXX check of XXXX, that were mailed in the same envelope, got returned I will never understand. I have been charged a late fee for that, even though our XXXX checks had been cashed. Then, I came to realize that for the XXXX years we were being harrassed. My loan payments were being applied to all the wrong loans after months of promises that it was fixed for good this time. Because of Sallie Mae wrongly applying my loans, I was the one pentalized with a late fee. I have called for help on my payments and they are not helping me at all. They said my XXXX payments could equal up to {$1300.00} a month and I am currently earning {$1100.00} a month. Sallie Mae harrassed my mother and I at our work places, even after those numbers were put on a " NO CALL LIST '' and we almost lost our jobs as a result.
