Background Information on the SLM Private Credit Student Loan Trust

The SLM Student Loan Trust is a Delaware trust, associated with Sallie Mae where multiple private student loans are pooled together by banking institutions for hedging purposes. SLM Private Credit Student Loan Trusts include private loans strictly originated by Sallie Mae. If your loan was originally serviced by Sallie Mae, it may be pooled in a SLM Private Credit Student Loan Trust. The securitization of these pools of loans into trusts allows them to be sold to investors on the financial markets.

As of recently, a company called Navient was spun-off from Sallie Mae Inc. to handle the servicing of federal student loans, which comprised a substantial amount of the annual revenues for Sallie Mae. Sallie Mae lent over $160 billon of student loans to nearly 25 million students, making it the biggest lender of student loans in the United States.

In or around 2010, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was made in order to take over certain responsibilities from the Federal Trade Commission in reference to regulating collection agencies and other consumer based business. The CFPB had reported receiving over 1,500 complaints regarding Sallie Mae and it's servicing of private and government student loans.

A group of consumers brought a class action against Sallie Mae under a federal consumer protection law known as the TCPA - Telephone Consumer Protection Act. In this consumer lawsuit, the Plaintiffs allege that Sallie Mae caused possibly unauthorized and repeated robot-calls to be made the the borrows in conncection with the servicing or collection of student loan accounts.
