I was volunteering overseas for several months, when I came back to the states I found that my account was past due. I contacted Sallie Mae inquiring about my repayment options, informing them that I 'm unemployed but trying to find money from relatives to help pay it off. I was also trying to help get access to my account online but they kept insisting that I have to talk to them and would n't help me access my account on the website so I could see my account information. As of this writing the representatives from Sallie Mae have told them there is no way to settle my account, and they did not help me get access to my account on the website. I feel as if they 're preventing me from accessing the information I need to make the best decision for paying my account off.
