The recording message said treasure office program call center

A answer machine with a lady said treasure office program center when you check it next day it said after that. United states education line and other stuff on line

They did the same to me telling me I needed to pay 5.00  a month.  My daughter has been in touch wth school and they did not do this.

Same letter 5.00 a month then someone else will take over now they have deducted over 800.00 from my annuity Cheque I was a co signigner for my granddaughter and my daughter is paying on it.  What do I do.?

Yes a letter

Who sent you the letter?
Was this a legitimate student loan debt?
Can you find more help here:

Go to the police and file a report : theft by deception.
Then go to the bank with the report, and ask them to get the money returned. You will also have to close that account to keep the thieves from trying to access it again.

Wasted 45 minutes talking to them 3 different times. ?they just transfer me to others who repeat the same things and then I get numerous phone calls back to back from an unidentified number in which no one answers. they refuse to send paper work outlining the payment plans they repeatedly go over on the phone

I just experience the same thing with Bass & Associates P.C. They told me that  I owe loans, I only owe one loan from 1989. And they told me the Department Of Education has placed my loan is in default. Mind you I'm a full time student just graduated with my Associates and currently going for my Bachelors. If your in scholl you do not have to make payments until you graduate. They told me that I had to pay full payments or I can't continue school. Also they gave me this fake number 1-800-621-3115 saying that it was the Department of Education. Its really sad how these 3rd party collection agencies are out here taking from the one's that don't really have. I've been paying a collection agency prior to this situation called Transworld collection... I've been paying them 5 bucks a month for 50 a month for years and then 5 bucks a month for years, now i found out a Judge put a restrainting order against them and they are no longer able to provide or should I say seal from folks. I searched the internet and found a forgivenesss program number and they put me down on collection agencies who are  3rd parties just trying to get your money...and increase your payment by thousands more than you owe. They only know your name and maybe your address which is easy to access from the internet.. they follow the rules when answering the phone like the Department of Education and ask for your SS which most of us gave, and thats how they get our updated info on loans etc. They work wilth other companies to gather your info. They pressure you into making full payments or big installments that you can't afford even try to influence you to reach out to family and friends to help you pay. Sobefore you give your personal info make sue its the direct epartment of education... and not a Collection Agency or a 3rd party acting as the Department of Education. Since I know there is a active restrainting order against the folks thats been collectig my money i'm going to sue them. Shame on them. So I called1-800-211-7984 and they brighten my day, told me my loan is in good standards and not in default. Told me that according to the Federal Data Base i'm a flltime student and i'm fine.Be proactive in your education and don't listen to what people tell you. Research  things your unsure about because thier are folks out here to get richer and make you poorer. Good luck with this battle of long term burdens of these decades long loans that most of us don't evenhave our license within that field. Hopefully a change will come. Meanwhile stay away from loans there are so many free programs, grants, and financial aid.

I made a lot of errors , but I think y'all can understand what I am saying. I didn't make corrections before posting sorry.

You are right, they do not ever drop off your report as long as you owe..  Mine has been on there since the 1991's.

Asked for social n info over the phn they shouldn't have

It appears that the Dept. of Education is using collection agencies to obtain payments on defaulted student loans. The forms I received had several different numbers and address to send information which makes the process extremely confusing. I have been contacting US Dept of Education since Sept. 2017 to set-up payment to rehabilitate by debt and each time I call they say they will mail forms for me to complete the process. Well today my bank account was emptied out. I have called several different numbers and 1-800-621-3115 was provided to me as the collections agency handling my defaulted loan. If you get a call from this number, they are real. I have at least three different numbers to contact to try to cure my debt. It is extremely frustrating. I owe the debt and have been trying to make payments. Good luck guys.

They just called me and tripled my student loans and requested my first two pages of my tax returns!! I just thought about it two weeks later to look the number up!! I am soooooo stupid!!! Who do I report this to?

Btw- received a phone call from a place in Texas where I sent my taxes...about consolidating my student loans!!

If you sent some unknown party your tax returns then you have really, really, really huge problems.  I would start here:

If you feel your SSN has been compromised, in addition to putting a fraud alert at the 3 credit bureaus, you may want to notify the IRS.  Here is the link, fill out the proper form (probably 14039):

https://www.ftc.gov/faq/consumer-protection/report-identity-theft

Scam!!! They have private info & I need 2 report it

How do I report them???

I've been scammed! Now what?

Who is "them" and what do you need to report?

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

Arizona Dept. of State website was down as of 5/20/18 so I could not check on their registration.  However Bizapedia.com does not have an Arizona listing for them.

Arizona requires debt collectors to be licensed and there is no listing for Bass & Associates, so they are collecting illegally.

Justia has 2 pages of lawsuits against these crooks:  https://dockets.justia.com/search?parties=Bas ... ases=mostrecent

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) 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.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
