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.
Sallie Mae does NOT outsource their collections. They just want to rip you off. Never say yes if they ask you "do you want to make a payment now" or if they ask you for "if it would be alright to take your banking information, and we can start an automatic draft for payment"
They have called me via a few numbers today, mostly this one. Every day that they call they start around 8 am and go past 9 pm. Every day is at least 7 calls. I was waiting for a forbearance and whenever I called them, the rep would hang up on me! I finally got a rep to listen to me yesterday and brought my account current (I was less than 30 days delinquent and have never been late before). However, I continued to receive calls all last night and today. I answered the one late last night and bitched them out and she said she would notate my account but apparently I am still on their hit list, paid or not.
These people call and don't say anything so I looked up thier number and it's Sallie Mae. This is a domestic violence office so I don't know why they are calling here, but since they don't say anything and hang up the phone when I pick up I don't know who they're looking for.
