Called on 5/21/18 at 11:58 AM. Called for a person I do not know as a contact for another person whom I also do not know. They need to verify telephone numbers belong to the people they are trying to contact before they call.

It is also illegal if you contacted Sallie Mae (Navient) and instructed them, in writing, not contact you or your family you via phone.

No, it is not illegal to contact them and instruct them in writing to not call you or your family via phone.  Navient is subject to collection laws including the FDCPA and as such:

15 U.S.C 1692c (c) says:

(c) Ceasing communication
If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt, except --

(1) to advise the consumer that the debt collector's further efforts are being terminated;

(2) to notify the consumer that the debt collector or creditor may invoke specified remedies which are ordinarily invoked by such debt collector or creditor; or

(3) where applicable, to notify the consumer that the debt collector or creditor intends to invoke a specified remedy.

If such notice from the consumer is made by mail, notification shall be complete upon receipt.

(d) “Consumer” defined
For the purpose of this section, the term "consumer" includes the consumer's spouse, parent (if the consumer is a minor), guardian, executor, or administrator.

Calling my number asking for someone I dont know so do not call anymore!!

Some guy left a message that they were looking for soneone by the last name of McDaniel. I do not know anyone by that name!!

My caller ID said "AT&T Alert: Spam Risk." So I answered the phone, let a woman with a foreign-sounding voice say "Hullo, hullo..." several times until she hung up, and then blocked the call.

Those people don't read these comments.

Expecting that person to come back after 7 years?

Nice try scammer. Why would you not send paper mail first? You have my number, send me a written statement please.

Do you really expect someone who posted almost 7 years ago to return & see your reply?

Called and left a garbled message.  It sounded like he was calling someone named Frank.  He said his name was Ray McGuiness and acted like we had talked before.  He gave this same number as a call back number.

It was a garbled message but a stern sounding lady called and asked for someone who was not my name and said I was used as a reference for someone else....that I have never heard of.

Got the call that This message is for Jane Spencer, that I am a contact for Katie Spencer. I'm not Jane and don't know Katie. Thank goodness for the Apple phone that don't let my phone ring if the number is not in my contacts. I chose to listen when I saw that a call came in. I didn't bother calling them back.Trashed it.

Got a call on 12/01/2021 at 8:30 am from this number looking for my mom but called my number stating that she was a reference for my sisters student loans. They asked me if I had my sisters current address because the mail they were sending out was getting returned. How did they get my number if they were looking for my mom? They said they were from Navient. I didnt hear the ladies name because it sounds like it was mumbled. My sister said that she talked to her student loan company a few weeks ago and that they were put on hold until she got a job. So they shouldnt be calling.
