I agree. They can say they are Sallie Mae if they are a collection agency trying to pick up the debt. This is usually the case, and I personally wouldn't be giving my info out to some trashy collection agency! If you ARE having financial issues then call them using their official number. If nothing else at least you are keeping them in the loop and sometimes they can even suggest options to help you out.
I get called 1-2 times daily from Sallie Mae and sometimes they leave a message. I don't have any school loans so I am assuming they are looking for whoever had my current number before I did. Its rather annoying seeing as I keep telling them they have the wrong number >.>
This number IS Sallie Mae. They are stalking me at home, work and now my cell phone. It is unreal..they call asking for name and social security number. Are they kidding? They called me and want personal info.They got rude when I refused. I called back from a different number. the caller taker was rude (different rude person than the first) I advised her that I was glad the call was recorded for "Quality assurance" as I wanted to report her immdiately to a supervisor for her rude treatment.Ultimately I was transferred and spoke to a supervisor .I lodge my complaint about the callers and then told him I told him to reach me by mail only! Harrassment by telephone for personal info and for student loan information is not right for any organization.
Use the number on this BBB report to find out why they're calling you family and friends. http://www.bbb.org/washington-dc-eastern-pa/B ... re-pa-235964051 you can also make a complaint by clicking on "file a complaint." Complain contact your state and federal consumer protection agencies. Another PA company under Washington BBB, that BBB needs help. And entering a report isn't like making a 800 notes complaint you have to verify who you are with lots of personal questions. Keeps the riff raff out.
I keep getting calls from this number for the past 2 weeks, and no voicemail has been left. I've read the reviews that were posted, and if it were Sallie Mae I would have received a voicemail. No voicemails, just random calls all throughout the day, even holidays.
SPAM CALL! Did not answer but left a message. A robotic voice said to call some phone number saying they were from Sallie Mae. The next morning I called Sallie Mae (from their number on the internet, NOT the one the robot said) and they said there was no reason they would be calling as my account is up to date. BEWARE.
