SallieMae Giving a loan to someone who was on meds for cancer and on alcohol abuse as well Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
MY Husband Thomas Ostrowski was allowed to co sign a loan even though he was on heavy meds for cancer as well as being loaded on alochol.
One of his friends, Mark Grabill talked my husband into co-sigining a loan for Construction school. He got my husband loaded everyday and being on meds, my husband agreed to co sign the school loan.
Mark did not attend the last term of his school and left the state leaving my husband to pay this loan. Thomas paid on this loan for more than a year and he has been diagnosed with terminal bone cancer.
I have found out this is against the law in Georgia, but Sallie Mae will not even talk to me about this.
I want my husband taken off the loan and let them find Mark Grabill to pay it.
This is a serious hardship for us and we just want the law to work for us this time.

Against the law?

If Sallie Mae has done anything against the law in collecting this debt from y'all, then sick your local or state DA's office on them.
If your husband's co signature will be considered binding, however, then that obligation remains his as long as he's alive. Make sure any assets in his name are made payable to you upon his passing, because Sallie Mae can claim anything left to probate. So long any such assets bypass probate, Sallie Mae ought not be able to make posthumous claims on them, depending on Georgia probate law, which I advise y'all read up on now.
I'm assuming you don't feel in a position to hire a lawyer about this, but if that's the case, y'all ought to try and get at least a consult on this.
