<prompt> Human: I know I didnt owe as much as other people but it took me 3 years and paying for a masters on the side to finally be done with Sallie Mae :-  <response>: I did the same thing in March, only to have Sallie Maes automated process of assigning accounts, pick me for the new college graduate of the same name. Apparently, if you have the same name and live in the same state as someone with an invalid address, Sallie Mae just assumes it must be the other person with an entirely different DOB and social security number. Oh, Sallie Mae, how much I hate you!
