More details to this question:
My boyfriend used Sallie Mae for his student loans. They have been harrassing him nonstop by phone calls to him while he is at work and at home. He has told them he is trying to pay but he only makes enough money to pay his rent and electric and water. I can't afford to pay those for him when we live together and on a lease together. I barely make enough to pay my own bills. Can they garnish his wages when he is on a lease and has bills to pay? Can they keep harrassing him all day by calling his cell while he is at work? They called him today and he had to take an hour out of his work time to talk to them and told them I am at work stop calling. The guy said we have to take care of this now I don't care if you are at work or not. He could have been fired for being on his cell phone at work.....
