I began receiving calls from GC stating that I owed student loans from 25 years ago, which I have reciept from the college (thank god my father kept great records) and they came up with another so called student loan for the same period of time for a Diesel school of some kind 2 states away and for the name that was not even mine as they tell me "You signed for and went to this school!" They then requested that I send them a copy of my signature from some legal document from that time period to prove it was not mine" How totally rediculous!! Then stated that they would take all my future taxes and ruin my credit! How does a person protect themselves from this kind of crap! I dont have student loans and yet they say I do from 25 years ago...I dont get it does our government not give a crap that this kind of stuff goes on/


For anyone getting calls about student loans especially from GC services check out this website. It is YOUR rights and options if threatened with wage garnishment. http://www2.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DCS/awg.html

Also be advised to make copies of anyone suggesting you settle from this site as if they do work for them you can sue for unfair debt practices. Groups dedicated to protecting people from predatory debt collectors have free attorneys who will subpoena the website for the IP addresses, you can make this shady person lose their income! Search for these good heroes online for help! All you need to do is match their IP with their employer to nail them! Paying your debts is good but being harassed is not. Protect yourself.

Anyone telling you to settle and ignore your rights probably works for them.

Wow ...how did I miss this idiot post?

Bluey...nobody here works for any collection agency, guarantor or loan servicer, so your advise is totally useless. I used to be a collector for several FFELP guarantors and the DOE and a financial aid officer at a major midwest university. I am going back to work shortly as a financial aid officer and default specialist. So you aint going nothing or nobody to nail. And for these so called free groups, are these the same ones who charge $350 to send a Direct Loan application to a borrower? I have read the websites of some one these radicial anti student loan groups and although there are some cases where intervention should be taken, most of those posters spent years with their heads in the sand, ignoring collection attempts and only decide to complain once the goverment seizes their taxes or wages. I sit there laughing at the majority of the posters....having children, buying a house or car is not a reason to ignore your student loans.
