Sallie Mae student loan--help!!

Options
Due to a change in Student Loan Company policy, my husband was stuck taking out a loan last year from Sallie Mae, the US-backed student loan company (we are originally from the US but are UK citizens). Sallie Mae is in deep trouble and pulled out of the UK market before he finished his course. He paid his fees so all is well on that front but we are worried about repayment because we can't reach anyone with the company. I spoke with the last UK employee as he was clearing out his desk, he promised he would sort out our change of address and someone would be in touch.
Sadly, I know better than to think they have forgotten us forever... if we don;t get it sorted we will end up on the hook for lots of money for sure! Anyone had dealings with Sallie Mae recently or have any tips???

    Why don't you write to the US office, and any other address you can find asking for more information on who you deal with from now on? That way you have a record of your efforts to keep in touch should there be a query at a later date. Phone calls are never good as there is no proper record.
