Expert Opinion

Calls keep coming without leaving a message, and they identify themselves as Great Lakes. Many recipients report that the callers claim to be collecting on student loans they say you owe, even when the callers have no record of a loan. If you’re certain you don’t have a Great Lakes account, let the call go to voicemail and do not provide personal details. Block the number on your phone and consider adding it to a call‑filtering app. Request a written validation notice within five days of any future contact; the debt collector must prove the debt is yours. Report persistent harassment to the CFPB, your state attorney general, or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and keep a log of dates, times, and what was said.
