@Emily.
Thanks for chiming in. Glad that someone one ‘in the industry’ was able to comment.
Great tip on talking only with one collector. These types of discussion can get so complicated so at least working with one person makes the process much smoother.

This post caught my eye because I work for Sallie Mae, actually selling private student loans. While I do not work in collections, I can tell you that we work with parents and students in every way to help them pay back loans. Your suggestions are excellent, however, I would advise getting in touch with one collector and keeping their phone extension. When only one person is working on your case, it become a lot less frustrating to work with the company. You can also consolidate debts, to make sure that you’re paying the lowest interest rate possible. For private loans, the interest rate can go up to 12.5%, plus LIBOR, which is adjustable. If you have one of these loans and can’t make the payments, consolidation may be the best option. I hope this helps a little!
