I have been receiving phone calls from this number. I don't know who it is because they never leave a message. I see that some believe that this is Sallie Mae. If so, according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act... they are suppose to identify themselves when calling nor are they suppose to call in such a harrassing manner. There is also a time frame that they are allow to call according to laws. After 8:30pm is not permitted nor on weekends.
I don't pick up numbers that I'm not familiar with that why I have a voice messaging system.
It would be unbelieveable if it is Sallie Mae because my school loan isn't due until March 2011 so I'm skeptical.
im having the same problems and my student loans where kinda the same thing they werent due for awhile. but if i remeber correctly they still called before my payment date. there [***] in my oppinion they have harrased myself and my wife now for years. i would love to find away to get them to stop since they dont really care about what time they call. heck i just received 3 calls this morning and it wasnt even past 9:00am
I have called 3 times to make a payment and set up a payment plan because I defaulted like an idiot. They claim they will work with you but everytime I try to set something up they try to extort an insane amount of money from me. I called to pay $300 one day and they wouldnt take any less than $2400. How do they expect us to pay if we still dont have a decent job after college. School is the biggest mistake of my life
