During my conversation with them, I was informed that I had exceeded my forbearance request, despite never being notified of such a request or the new rules limiting forbearances. I was advised to apply for a reduction, but due to my work schedule and limited internet access, I've been unable to make the necessary changes, leading to significant stress and concern about potential consequences.
Nelnet spam calls—stop the nightmare!

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.

This afternoon, i recieved a call from this number and they left a message with a contact number for my ex-daughter-in-law, so i called them (Nelnet) and since i dont have an account or ss number i clicked on "0" for the operator, but someone finally came on the phone and i informed them that they were looking for my ex-daughter-in-law that i havent seen or heard from her in 7 or 8 years
When i tryed to call that number 866-763-5638, the guy who answered was nice but he want's my full social security number, wich i refuse to give him, and i told him i want to speak to some one higher up to remove my number
You should call 866-763-5638 and speak with a live person, when they ask for your account or SS number, just tell them you dont have an account with them, but are recieving erroneous calls from them, they will ask you to confirm the number and the person they are trying to reach, then your number will be removed from their call list
Fortunately, this number connected me to a live person, who was courteous and helpful, allowing me to confirm that the person they were trying to reach was not associated with my number, and they agreed to remove my number from their call list, though it remains to be seen if they will follow through.
Nelnet is collection agency for student loans, they havent been too ugly to us, just persistant, they gave us 866-763-5638 to contact them
It seems these individuals accessed my phone number through a reverse address lookup after I purchased my house, and now they're flooding me with harassing calls intended for the previous owner, with no way to contact a live person to request they cease.
It appears this number belongs to Nelnet, a company I am familiar with; if they leave a message, it's best to return the call to avoid persistent attempts to reach you, especially if the number was previously associated with someone who applied for student loans.
Recently, my cell phone has shown "Incoming" from this number numerous times, and I've chosen not to answer; however, this time they left a message from Tabitha at Millimen Student Loan services, looking for someone named Scott and providing the phone number 888 486 4722 to call back, but when I called, I was only able to reach a computer that requested my account or SS number, prompting me to hang up.
My Caller ID displayed "San Antonio Fed", but no message was left behind.
