We should have a Canada Student Loan Ombudsperson.
 
There is a US federal student loan ombudsman, perhaps citing the American example will help convince the Canadian Gov to instigate an ombudsperson here too.

I wish there was one I could take my situation to.  Unfortunately you only receive 800 numbers and people who can barely speak english.

I absolutely agree!

I'm having problems with my loan, and have no idea where to turn (since my main complaint is that the student loan "service" centre refuses to communicate with me at all).

Since there is no Student Loan Ombudsman, I've been writing letters to increasingly ridiculous recipients (I started off writing to the Department of Consumer Affairs, and have most recently written to Stephen Harper). We need an Ombudsman!!
