Most likely, this number belongs to Great Lakes, the student‑loan collection arm that contacts borrowers with past‑due balances. Callers often ring multiple times a day, rarely leave voicemail, and may request personal data to verify identity. Never share your Social Security number, date of birth, or banking details unless you have initiated the call to a verified corporate line. If the calls occur before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., they violate the FDCPA and you can report the violation. Consider requesting a forebearance or payment plan, and use your phone’s block or “do not call” feature to reduce unwanted rings.
I made the mistake of ansering this number few times, they claim to be from Great Lakes and ask for personal info, i dont give it to them, they get pushy
Over several weeks, I've received multiple calls from this number, which appears to be associated with Great Lakes, although my student loans have been transferred to different companies, raising suspicions of a potential scam due to information leakage during these transfers
If you dont pay, they can garnish your wages, thats whats going to happen, so you better pay up
Unless you have a severe medical condition or die, getting out of a Student Loan is almost impossible, Great Lakes will hound you almost every day, getting medical deferment helps for a few months, but this is a burden that hangs around your neck for the rest of your life
The caller claimed to be from Great Lakes and was persistent about a student loan, but the recipient has no intention of paying, considering the loan to be a mistake on the lender's part.
amused by this one, thanx for the laugth :)
Obscene call were recieved
This number calls me repeatedly, often 4-5 times a day, but when I answer, they hang up, and when I don't, they don't leave a message; it's extremely frustrating.
Identification of this number reveals it belongs to Great Lakes Higher Education, suggesting that individuals with existing student loans may find it beneficial to respond to calls from this number.
I'm not falling for their tricks, all banks can leave me alone, haha
Contrary to what one might expect, this number is not associated with a bead store, but rather Great Lakes Education Services, a student loan provider that contacts individuals regarding unpaid loans.
If you dont pay your loans, they will call you, thats what happen when you dont pay, my guess is you ment to say deferment, thats a diffrent story.
Upon answering, the caller hung up immediately; it's unnecessary for them to contact me since my loans are in default until June.
This number is associated with Great Lakes Higher Education, specifically for student loans.
I got a call from this number at 8:06 pm local time, didnt leave a message, and from what I saw in other posts, its probabbly Great Lakes or Sallie Mae, I do have student loans but Im currently in school, so I dont no why they are calling me.
According to the FDCPA, contacting someone before 8 AM or after 9 PM local time is prohibited, making early morning calls potentially illegal.
The best aproach is to comunicate with them and request a forebearance on your loan, which they can grant if you cooperatre with them. However, if you default, they can garnish upto 25% of your earnings without a court order, as stated in federal law 34 CFR Part 34, and you are entitled to a review within 30 days if you file a complaint.
Despite numerous calls from this number, no messages have been left, and fortunately, my cell phone allows me to block unwanted calls from non-contacts
Calls were made repeatedly, asking for an individual not associated with the recipient
I got a call in the mid-afternoon, but sadly no message was left.
The lack of comprehensive caller ID information and ineffective DNC regulations is a source of frustration
Answered the call, the lady sounded unproffesional and didnt mention Great Lakes
It appears to be a call from Great Lakes, requiring a wait in line like other callers
This number is notorious for calling at all hours, day and night, and never leaving a message, very frustrating
I experience similar calls from this number as well
This company calls me frecuently, but I always tell them they are my last priority
I didnt answer the call, now i know who it is, we dont have student loans, if we did it would be years past due, we are pretty old peoples
Receiving calls from this number at early hours, such as 7 am and 7:15 am, with no messages left, is considered overly intrusive.
