  Sallie Mae's Definition of Success (washingtonpost.com)
Sallie Mae, the college loan giant, is taking its first tentative steps toward making money off of other things besides student loans, and it is using its most prized asset: its customers, millions of former college students with plenty of disposable income.
Sallie Mae's parent company is USA Education Inc. It serves as a holding company for the original Sallie Mae; Nellie Mae Corp., an originator of student loans; and USA Group, the student loan servicing company that Sallie Mae purchased in 2000.
Sallie Mae's customer base is an asset that could potentially generate considerable revenue for the company, but not at the expense of the loan business, which Snowling said he believes must remain the company's focus.

 In re Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae), Dkt. No. 96-23-SL
Sallie Mae is a creature of statute, having been authorized by Congress in 1972 as a federally-chartered, for-profit corporation that is publicly held and financed by private sector capital.
Sallie Mae pays Scholl College a negotiated amount equal to 100 percent of the par value (the principal balance plus any accrued interest) on each loan, plus an amount described as an "incentive fee" of up to 2.5 percent over the par value of the loan.
Although Sallie Mae functions as a secondary market for student loans and is specifically prohibited by statute from originating loans, it is still referred to as an "eligible lender" of student loans covered by federal loan insurance.

But CLC alleges that Sallie Mae, which buys up tons of loans without borrowers’ knowledge, has violated its single-lender privileges through its private subsidiary businesses, by failing to process applications for consolidation properly and diverting applications to lenders with which it is affiliated.

Sallie Mae spokesperson Tom Joyce insists that the company doesn’t pyramid fees (though he cannot explain how else someone’s late-fee balance could consistently show up as zero, when in fact that person was being charged every month); nor, he says, does it charge duplicate fees for one late payment.

Sallie Mae, the nation's leading provider of educational loans, still hasn't begun sending loan-payment information on millions of borrowers to Experian and TransUnion, two of the nation's major credit bureaus.
Amid mounting criticism and threats of legislative action by Senate leaders, Sallie Mae reversed its policy and promised in November to resume reporting the repayment history of its borrowers to Experian and TransUnion.

In an antitrust lawsuit over student loan consolidation a federal jury ruled, June 25, that Sallie Mae is not in violation of the law.
The suit, brought by the College Loan Corporation in September 2002, argued that Sallie Mae’s acquisition of USA Group in July 2000 allowed the student loan giant to violate the “single-holder rule” of the federal Higher Education Act and to breech a contractual relationship that CLC had enjoyed with USA Group.
At issue for the jury were CLC allegations that Sallie Mae had breached its contract—which expired in 2001—and violated its fiduciary responsibilities.
