called my cell every hour since 8am today!!!  When I call it I get put on hold and told "will be monitored for quality assurance".  Betting it's a collections.

stayed on hold this time, it's Pioneer Credit.

Got a call at my home from this number stating that a member of my family applied for credit.  No one had applied for credit. The caller was attempting to get me to give her information on that family member as to addresses and current phone numbers.  The call was at 8:45 am.  She called back 5 minutes later after I did not give her the information that she wanted, "phishing" for more info.

just got a call from them, asking for someone with an odd first name and my surname.  i'm guessing they were hoping i said "well, my last name is x, but there's no one with that first name" so the door would be open for them to phish... instead i just said, "sorry there's no one here by that name."

Pioneer is a company that buys student loans. They called my father to get ahold of me and told him also that I had applied for credit.....which I guess in essence I had years ago when I started my student loan. I will say that even though they are attempting to collect on the account they have been extremely helpful. They are trying to get my loan out of default so I can lower my interest rate and take care of the loan! I have been grateful they called me.

They call at all hours. Some days more than once. Sometimes a woman sometimes a man. They keep asking for my social security number. When I ask them to identify themselves i get "We are unable to give you any information until you verify your social security number." I told them "Until you tell me who you are and why you are calling you will get no info from me. By the way this sounds like attempted identity theft." One man replied that I should be more worried with how he got my social to begin with. It just doesn't seem right.

Every since I got my cell phone, I have been receiving calls for someone named Alu Ahluwal...(not sure how it's spelled).  Apparently my cell phone company recycled Alu's number and my minutes are being used up by daily calls.  The messages claim they're from New York State Education so I'm guessing Alu skipped on their student loan.   I created a message on my voice mail instructing anyone looking for Alu to stop calling because they had the wrong number.  But they ignored that.  So now I enter any phone # looking for Alu into my blocked calls list so I know not to answer.  This number 917-423-3097 is the latest incarnation of Alu seekers.
