I decided to check out my credit report and found that someone had apparently opened several accounts in my name. Then I started to receive harassing letters and phone calls. Sometimes I would receive 11 or 12 calls a day telling me that if I didn't pay off "my" loans then serious and drastic action would be taken against me. I even have had a student loan counsilor come to my home. I called Sallie Mae and the other company, (Student Loan Corp), that were harassing me and told them that they had the wrong person. They had different ss#'s, different middle initials but my address and my phone number. I called the police...who did absolutely nothing. I contacted the BBB in Indianapolis and they did nothing. It took well over half a year before the phone calls and letters stopped. (Until I threatened to throw a lawsuit at them.) I would give them no stars.
