You know, I really hope everyone working at Sallie Mae is very satisfied with themselves.
Each of the five times I've had to call them about my student loans in the last three days, I've gotten a different answer.
On Friday, they said they disbursed my loans and my school should have had them at 2pm. I called them to confirm this and the woman confirmed it.
Then yesterday they updated the website to "awaiting disbursement" so I called and again they assured me the loans had been sent, but that the school hadn't received them yet. So I call my school and my school says they haven't received anything from Sallie Mae, so I call back and am told that the funds are in transit.
So today I look online again and it says, "DISBURSED." With a date of 8/20. May I remind y'all that today is the 19th. So I call and they say the loans will be received by the school TOMORROW because they were just sent out today. WTFIAMGOINGTOKICKSOMETHINGHARD.
Of course I NEEDED that $10,000 for, you know, bills. And living expenses. Which is why I take an extra $10,000 a year from my student loans as a refund - FOR THE COST OF LIVING THEY ASSUME I WILL HAVE. THUS ALLOWING ME THE EXTRA MONEY WHICH I APPARENTLY CANNOT GET UNTIL AFTER SCHOOL IS ALREADY IN SESSION FOR TWO WEEKS. Which also means I cannot buy my BOOKS, because my school doesn't offer a way to put them on your student account, and I don't happen to have an extra $500 laying around my bank account.
Bastards.
I blame the fact that Sallie outsources to India, frankly. I don't mean to be crude and one of "those" people, but damnit, when I am inquiring about my FEDERAL student loans, I would like to talk to someone IN THIS COUNTRY. I was even TOLD by the guy on the phone today that the reason I was misinformed on Friday is because "they don't always train people very well before they are on the phone with customers." GEE. Maybe fix that, because student loans are SRS BSNS. This is not some fuckery lotto money. This is money I am paying interest on from the DAY I sign the paperwork, and thus I would like it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
