I have gotten at least 20 calls from this number who is calling for a Ruth (last name garbled) and I continue to tell them no one here by that name but they keep calling. Some are automated calls and they tell me they are removing my number from their records, but they keep calling. One again this morning that woke me up.
I have only recently gotten this cell phone with a new number on it and so far I've had at least one to three calls from 1-765-283-3176, I've answered a couple times to let whoever know that they are calling a wrong number but that doesn't seem to work. My husband and I are retired and debt free so please, please stop calling us. We owe you NOTHING!!!!!
Sallie Mae calles me an average of 8 times per day from 3 differant numbers but this is the one they use most often. If you answer you are plaved on hold to wait for the next available operater. Who calls you just to put you on hold?! This number just called me and it's 8:45am on a Saturday morning!
I answered the phone recently after receiving many calls with no message from the number. The man on the other end asked me to verify my address and social security number, and when I asked who he was he said I had to verify that info in order for him to tell me who he was. When I said I wasn't comfortable with that, he immediately interrupted me and said I had to verify or else he would mark me as refusing to comply. I let him know I wasn't refusing, I just wanted to know who he was. He became very agitated and said he didn't have to give me that info. I asked to speak to his supervisor, and recieved the same treatment! I asked him for his address, and he said he couldn't give that to me unless I verified who I was. When I asked him to verify who he was, he said he didn't have to do that, and that I know who they are and that I can see them call me 50 times a day if I want to know the number. When I told him that calling someone 50 times a day is harassment, he said that he didn't say 50 times, even though he'd just said it. It was like they were trying to pick a fight with me before I even picked up the phone - RIDICULOUS!! I do have business with Sallie Mae, but if they want to talk to me, they let me know who they are - these creeps are NOT Sallie Mae!
They just keep calling and calling... I do have student loans with Sallie Maw but they are up to date so there is no justification for any type of "collections" action.
Just called the 888-2SALLIE number and spoke to Perry (employee number e55781) and told him that the calls from this number needed to stop, that they were in violation of the federal codes, etc... He said "that will be easy enough to take care of for you" I heard a few key strokes in the background and before I hung up with him I told him that I will do whatever it takes to stop these calls and if I get another one, I will call him back, that he had been warned. Now, I'll see what happens...
