Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Sallie Mae
Did you know that they will call people you listed as a reference 5 years ago on your loan application?
They supposedly called me but never left a message so I didn't call back.
They called my in-laws and aunts house tonight for me.
WTH!

Hey, if you owe them as much money as I do  , they will ensure that you are responsible enough to pay back the loans! lol

Of course they will. One of the purposes of asking for references is so they can find people who will know where you are in the future, in case they can't locate you for some reason. This goes for all creditors, not just Sallie Mae.

Well that goes to show you how much I know, I did not know Sallie Mae had loans. I thought they were all about beauty aids.

Yes but wouldn't it make sense to leave a message on the answering machine if no one picks up so the person you are trying to reach knows to call you back? 
They didn't get me so they called the other people who were home at the time.

Yes, of course it would. I wouldn't accuse Sallie Mae of using common sense in this situation.

They can't leave messages because if they did, and someone other than the intended person heard it and found out you were applying for a loan, they could be sued for violating privacy laws.
