Could very well be the number that whoever had that number before you gave them as their contact number.

I get calls from these numbers a lot, but I do have seriously overdue loans through Great Lakes, so while it's annoying, I can't really complain too much.  I've never had them call and not speak English or anything, though.  Still have all the numbers saved in my cell, and that contact set to go straight to voicemail.  Only have to deal with it when they call the landline. (Oh, yeah, that's another thing - especially if you're not responding, they will call any and every number they can possibly have for you. They used to call my daughter's cell somehow, until I had her answer it and tell them that she was a child and didn't know whoever they were calling for)

yep same here there looking for my neighbor im like dont call me looking for my neighbor

This is Great Lakes Education.  If you call them back they want your social security # & your mailing address.  They are a collection agency.  I called them back today & asked they stop calling me as all of my student loans have been consolidated.  They refused to tell me anything or take me off their call list b/c I wouldn't give them my mailing address.  I told them I would just block every # they call me from.

A cease and desist calling should always be made by certified, return receipt letter.  That way when they keep calling you have proof for your FDCPA lawsuit and you get them to pay you big bucks (maybe even enough to pay that loan off).

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

I'm only in Middle school and I'm not even in college?

They keep calling me and im only in 8th grade in middle school and haven't even been to college and I'm not old enough

Called and said someone's name. I responded with what is this? The lady just repeated herself but refused to answer my question, so I repeated myself. Then she hung up on me.

They call, won't leave messages.

Called today at 1:15 PM. CID said GREAT LAKES LOAN. No message was left. They have called me using various other numbers. I NEVER had student loans, so they can't be looking for me. Thanks for all the posts before mine explaining who these scumbags are.

They called but left no messages. All my loans are in good standing so they shouldn’t be calling me.

True ---- the lady that had my cell phone number before, must be in serious debt as all of the calls for her, come in, and mine are all paid.

You should be able to tell them to put your number on their do not call list cuz he doesn't work there anymore

7 years later?

I'm 76 and live in a senior center. No loans here you crack pot.

Received a call from 800-236-2700 and when I answer the phone,  there is no one there.

Thanks!

Non stop, unidentified caller at all times of the day.

They leave the message about SS!! I do not receive SS as I’m not quite old enough! Threaten to permanently block me🤣

They did not leave a message.  I did not recognize this number nor did it have a registered ID.  I get these several times a day but no messages are left.  Do not give them any personal information.  As a public servant, the names and information was compromised several years ago so many people have their information from one of the Credit Bureaus that are supposed to maintain Personal Information (PII).  Beware of calls that are not identified.

800-236-2700 Came up as a google voice call on my Cell phone. They didn’t leave a message, have blocked them
