Jeannie left a message, asking for verification of current employment. She gave no indication where she was calling from. But, like so many others, I recently started getting harassed by Pioneer Credit over student loans. The bill was hilarious "$175k, please do not send cash"
No way I'd give my employment info to some anonymous caller.
They called me and left a message saying that someone used me as a reference and for me to call her back at a completely different number. Also, I have no outstanding student loans, so im not sure if there is a few scams going on here
Got a call from this number. No message left. I called back to see who it was and a person answered "Pioneer Credit." I asked why they are calling me. I was told the call was probably a wrong number dialed to me. Seemed strange.
I used to get called 3 times a day, if not 4 times a day. This same party calls my cell phone. I turned off my cell, so that takes care of part of my problem. I don't answer my phone, just call back legit caller from reading caller id. I am so under water in my student loans! In the old days, anyone looking at my situation would have declared bankruptcy. Obviously, bankruptcy is not an option, it gets me that Wall street banks can be bailed out.I'm not the brightest person, but this one is hard to reconcile.
