Anybody else tried speaking to these people ? The guy kept trying to tell me he is legit.

Well, they could be legit. Of course it is a fact that nobody needs to use them to try to get help refinancing a student loan as one can go to the federal government or to the company to which the student loans are being paid like Mohela to get help reducing the payments and extending the life of the loan.

A few years ago I went through the whole spiel with an Student Loan place who called me and they were American employees. To make a long story short, I was told in the very end with the 2nd employee that I could get the monthly payment amount lowered to a lower amount and extend the number of years to pay back the student loan. I of course asked what is the fee because obviously they are not going to pay off my current student loan and refinance a new loan with them for nothing. He said that I would need to pay $1,600.00 at once to refinance and they pay off my current student loan and then I would get the new loan with them to pay a lower monthly amount over a longer period of time than the original loan’s number of years that I had to pay off the original amount.

This inherently is not criminal. There is nothing wrong with a 3rd party company paying off any kind of current loan and charging the person a fee and entering into a new loan with that person.

The phone calls though from student loan folks are breaking the 1990s federal law UNLESS they have done business with you or UNLESS you contact them first.

Also, anybody claiming complete forgiveness of your student loan is full of shit.

Someone with a student loan can go to studentaid.gov (Federal Student Aid) to apply for an income-driven repayment plan, learn about government forgiveness plans or consolidate your federal loans — all for free. If you have private loans, contact your lender or servicer to discuss alternative repayment plans. Borrowers with federal or private loans can request a temporary pause on payments by asking for deferment or forbearance. If you take this route, though, interest will continue to accrue, increasing your loan balance.

If you want expert help in navigating your options, contact a student loan counselor certified by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Some nonprofit credit counseling agencies charge a one-time fee ranging from $50 to $200, but they offer trustworthy advice for a fraction of what you’d pay to a for-profit company.

I saw before I created this particular thread that others in this site had posted numbers of student loan people. I personally do not enjoy messing with student loan folks even if hypothetically they are not scamming/fraudulent, and one reason is that they say they are legit and that I do not know with certainty that they are not legit. Whereas Amazon scams and SSA scams and such are OBVIOUSLY fraudulent.

As I said earlier in this post, someone can go to legitimate places to modify a student loan repayment plan or to try to get some government assistance in terms of federal student loans.

The email address that sent me today the email does not look like a professional and reputable email address of course. The body of the email was not composed by a professional in terms of the verbiage and meaningless symbols at the end of it.

Sorry @delboy_scambuster, I was not trying to get anybody to mess with them but just posted in case some people want to mess with them.

They certainly do not like being asked straight questions on where they are located, their name or their supervisors name. On this other number > (201) 680-0717 Student Loan Scam, they were the same. THey just hang up.

Yeah, that is suspicious when they will not give the name of the company, the state in which the company is licensed, the address of the company, et cetera.

If someone says the name of the company and the state in which it is licensed, we can go to Google and type for example California Secretary of State Business Search or Oklahoma Secretary of State Business Entity Search and there should be a link to the particular State’s Secretary of State’s website where we can search the company name to see if that company name is really licensed in that state.
