Update #3 “Action Needed - Pending Legal Evaluation”

I'm here sharing my default story as it unfolds in real time. As people on this platform has asked me too. Review my other post if need be. Since there are not many current info in 2025. So I haven't paid in about 62 days or so. I received a email today that stated "your loan(s) is severely past due and, if it defaults, may be in jeopardy of legal action. We’re currently evaluating your loan for legal action against you and/or any other applicable party on your loan. We’d prefer to avoid any potential legal action, so please call us immediately to set up acceptable payment arrangements and get your loan back to good standing".
Obviously this sounds like a scare tactic because if they wanted to pursue legal action they would just do it. They are not going to scare me into anything. I just deleted the message. They still call once daily from different numbers, but I just let it go to voicemail and block the number. I am still continuing to save what I would be paying them monthly in a separate account in case of a lawsuit or settlement. As things continue to happens I will update especially if there are any future settlements offers. Btw for reference I have about 80K of Sallie Mae loans no co signer.

I’m about three years in and have been sent settlement letters to pay about 30% of the original balance of 125k. Still not responding, they’re predatory.

Just curious why they don’t sue you ? Any reason? This would be helpful to know

One might luckily not get sued if their state's consumer protection laws are in their favor, their income is not feasible for obtaining any significant garnishment, no assets to put liens on, no cosigners, and/or the lender drops the ball somewhere (like losing the promissory note, violating a consumer protection law in effort to collect, or their attorneys tell them it's not a very winnable case).
In other words, many stars have to align.

I don’t have any assets really- I rent and my car is a 2007. That’s my best guess
WeakTutor@reddit
Do they know this????
wicket2003@reddit

Hopefully you can outlast the SOL! Are your loans still with Sallie Mae our another debt collector?
