Expert Opinion

Imagine fielding a call from a number that keeps showing up as a student loan collector. The script usually asks for your account or Social Security number, then claims to need the info to locate a borrower. Never give personal data to an unsolicited caller; ask for a callback number and verify the request on the official Nelnet website. Hang up if the person can’t provide a verifiable employee ID, and add the number to your phone’s block list. Report repeated harassment to the FTC and, if you suspect identity theft, file a complaint with the FTC and your credit bureaus. A quick note to your lender’s official support line can also get your number removed from their dialer.
