Called today at 3:32 PM. CID said GREATLAKES. No message was left. Seems they are a student loan collection agency. I don't have, nor did I ever have, nor do I know anyone that has or had student loans. They are fishing.

did not leave a message

called and also didn't leave a message

I received a call on my cell phone at 8:46 p.m. on 8/5/08, while out dining. I have never had a loan with them. I have never given the number to anyone but friends and family. A call came shortly before from 1-612-548-2001, which appears to also be connected with Great Lakes Higher Education.

These are student loan collectors. By law any student loan even if 30 years old is now collectible. If you dont like this as I dont, contact your Congresspersons to get this oppressive law overturned. 11 USC 523(a)(8) and the Higher Education Amendment of 1998. There is no reason why student loans should be treated so harshly when the govt wastes billions in Iraq and other endeavors, forgives loans to foreign nations, and lets people negotiate their unpaid taxes down. Why are student borrowers more criminal or undeserving? Answer that! The good news is you can treat collectors on student loans the same as any other collector. Send them a cease and desist and demand for proof letter so they will shut up. It works but you will just see another CA pick up the slack about 6 months later at which time you can do the same thing. Eventually the govt will try to garnish your wages. Dont let that happen. Fight them every step of the way!

I have a roommate who has a loan with Great Lakes. They're constantly calling my house, not willing to give out any of THEIR information, but INSIST that they talk to my roommate. I've told them countless times to stop calling, and every time they say "That's all you have to say, sir.", yet they call again within the next day or two. It's getting to be harrassment.

got a call today, i dont answer these calls on my cell p hone, its my work cellphone and they dont respect that. it must be great lakes because i do owe them money but ive written them plenty of letters about how im struggling as it is. if they keep calling my phone i may get fired from work and then no one is getting money.an yes my nickname is correct.

While their calls are harassing at best, if you log onto the Great Lakes website and talk to one of their counselors online they can be a GREAT HELP in solving your student loan debt. They always called me during my work hours which was an issue, as I don't answer my cell phone while at WORK. But yes, the point is, don't be afraid to talk to them! If you're willing to work with them, they're willing to work with you!

They have been calling me and I have no Student Loans of any kind. I never went to College. They can stop calling!!!!

Just because you talk to them, great lakes, does not mean they are willing to help a person out. I have tried multiple times to work something out, but they don't accept what I can offer. I am struggling too, like most folks these days. My husband works construction so his hours are sporadic at best. That don't help the montly other bills. I have had one rude, not good English speaking female tell me to "just pay the bill already" and hung up on me. Of course, I did not get her name so couldn't follow up. Yes, some are willing to help, but some are not!!
