I do have loans through Nelnet, but I received a text from this number telling me to reply YES with my address to postpone payments for 12 months.  I do not believe for an instant that this is actually Nelnet.  They do not communicate via text or request personal information be sent via text.

At first, in the background I could hear "and we have a special offer for you", then the agent said, "well, uuuh..." and some supervisor said, "you have to wait after the recording". It's all going on the end of my answering machine greeting, which is designed to take control of the Cisco programmed robocaller, and sent my greeting to a live agent. They definitely made a TCPA land line phone violation, whether it's a telemarketer or a debt collector, because they did not identify the company calling, and an answering machine recording is a communication.

Also calls from 844-503-7864... I do not nor have I ever had a student loan... where is the consumer protection? Have put our house and cells on the non-solicitation registry! Sick of this $ hit in South Bend, IN....calls after legal solicitation hours also!

Shills are saying the FDCPA does not apply. Right. Stop reciting the FDCPA mantra. Unwarranted violation of consumer privacy is a violation of the TCPA.

Thanks for all this information everyone!
I didn't answer. They left no message.

We keep getting this call at work but when we answer the call nobody will say anything and after a minute or two they hang up.

Yep, Crazycowboy, you're right!
Student loans are so expensive BECAUSE they have to pay debt collectors to collect on loans students cannot possibly pay directly out of college or maybe ever because of the penalties, interest, etc they tack on erroneously and at such ridiculous amounts.
I'm not into politics, but read up on Senator Elizabeth Warren's proposal to put a stop to the high costs of college and the tactics that are built within the whole scheme. I've seen her interviewed and she's onto them! Funny tho, she gets a lot of support because she's correct, yet the leg work needs to happen and that's slow going. Same old story.... the rich are making tons of money in the student loan scheme and to cut their paycheck is like pulling teeth from a dino!
Enough said.

After reading the remarks here, This is an attempt to collect on a student loan debt.  As I never went to collage or went to a school where I needed a loan, and Have no children or other relatives that have need loans for school. Thus is harassment.

I keep getting calls from these people. First of all, I've never taken out a student loan in my life. They need to leave me alone!!!!

This is done from Atlanta Georgia

They won't stop calling me and I just don't answer. I figured if it is important they will leave me a voicemail but they never have. Assuming it's a scam.

I feel you. They keep calling me to. I don't answer. I'm wondering how they keep getting my new number.

These still alive unfortunately, number blocked.

I keep getting calls about student loan forgiveness, I have never had student loans.  When I question the caller, they hang up.

This number called me today and the man that I spoke to said he was calling from Empire and they were collecting on behalf of cash call.  I don't owe cash call anything. He said there was a judgment and they would debit my checking accout in 2 days.  This is clearly a scam.

They don't even have the courtesy to leave a message...I don't care what they are calling about because it is the same scammer calls...I will NEVER answer any of these calls...#855-720-2633...

Payed all my student loans off by 1989. When I called, the first thing they did was ask for SS#. Not visiting Scam City, USA.

I have gotten calls from these jerks now and then.  From what I understand, they are an outfit that collects student debt.  No one lives here except me.  I had a student debt that I paid in full in the '70s.  That has been off the books since then.  I don't owe anyone a dime.  They are harassing me, and I expect what they are doing is illegal, despite Keygan's dishonest protests above.

You 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/

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:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

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

I get calls like this all the time and if they are not in my phonebook I just let it ring and ring and ring and ignore them. I paid my student loans off years ago and not going to give them any assistance.
