Forum Specific Rules
Introductions
Feel free to introduce yourself in this forum after registering. The only thing we ask is that any conversation resulting from an introduction be taken to the General Chit-Chat forum.
General Chit-Chat
The General Chit-Chat forum is where registered Sallie Mae Beef members can gather to talk about almost anything.
Any conversation that doesn't fit into any other forum should be taken here.
Bad Experiences
Please share your story with the world in this forum. It's important to help others learn from your experience. It's also a great stress-reliever!
Please do not reply to other stories with your own. Start a new thread. The exception to this rule would be how a part of someone else's experience relates to your own.
Good Experiences

While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
We also reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates the forum rules, as access to our support forums are a privilege and not a right. A banned customer is still entitled to support from the support system.
