CONSTANTLY CALLING.MT FAMILY AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY STUDENT LOANS AND I AM TIRED OF THE CONSTANT CALLING STARTING AT EXACTLY 8 AM EVERYDAY!

Great Lakes. I'm unemployed and literally eating ramen to survive but they still call 3-5 times per day. Also they call about 3-6 other people loosely associated with me every day "looking" for me to discuss "options." These options include paying them a few thousand dollars, borrowing money from family, or making a credit card payment. How the hell are these "options?" As if getting a doctorate level degree and being unemployed working jobs that I could have gotten with a HS degree wasn't bad enough, I also have the embarrassment of everyone I know getting calls from student loan debt collectors while I sit in a dark, cold room (because I'm too poor to pay a lot in utes) avoiding the phone every other hour. I get so many calls and voicemails from them, that if I don't delete my messages every few hours, my voicemailbox will be at capacity and someone trying to actually offer me a job won't be able to leave a voicemail. At this point, because Great Lakes have called all my relatives and family friends, I'm ashamed to see any of them this holiday, so I'm making up some BS "I'm sick" excuse to avoid everyone and staying home. Instead of graduating top 1% of my undergraduate class and getting a doctorate degree, if I stayed at home and slept that last 10years, I'd be so much further ahead than I am now.

calls after 9 PM no message

call me all the time...dont leave a message

I feel you guys. My loans were originated by Great Lakes and serviced by them until 2009 when Dictator Obama proclaimed by edict that only the government can issue and service student loan debt. My loans were transferred to Sallie Mae but Great Lakes calls me when Sallie Mae can't.I owe close to $50k for my Masters degree. I've never really been able to make payments because the interest rate on my loans in 7.5% making my monthly payment well over $400. I have tried to apply for income-based and graduated repayment plans but don't qualify because my income is "too high." My husband and I make a combine $55,000 year. He was unemployed the last year and a half leaving me responsible for all of our bills and mortgage. My husband also owes about $40k and together our student loans would exceed $700/month if we were able to pay them. Do you think they care? Absolutely not. Reduced payments are entirely based on gross wages excluding your other obligations. Some consideration is given to total household stodent loan debt - but not much.I took the time to write my congressman and senators urging them to support HR 4170 - the Student Loan Forgiveness Act - introduced by Hansen Clarke (D-CT). Frankly, I want to repay my loans. In no way do I believe that my education should have been "free." But I do feel like more should be done to cap the interest rate for pre-2009 student loans at less than 3% and that monthly payments should be limited to no more than $350 or 5% of monthly NET income (not gross, before-tax income), whichever is less PER HOUSEHOLD. Additionally, the time permitted for repayment should be strecthed to 30 years and individuals should have the right to renegotiate their loan terms or "refinance" just like they would with any other kind of debt. Finally, private (non-Stafford) loans should also be permitted for consolidation.Call or write your congressman and senators. This is the ONLY WAY we'll get change.

Great Lakes hassling me. I will be able to pay as soon as we fire Dear Leader in November.

Call me sporadically and I logged on to their page once to see if there was something I'm missing. Even their own website says I don't have a loan with them. I just ignore it

No message left. Based on the above, likely to be Great Lakes.

I HATE HOW AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN NOT GET ANY HELP WITH STUDENT LOANS BUT YET WE HAVE IMMIGRANTS THAT JUST GET TO THIS COUNTRY AND GET ALL THE HELP WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. IT DOESN'T MATTER LOANS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO BETTER THEMSELVES, NOT TO THOSE THAT AREN'T GRATEFUL FOR THE HELP. SINCERELY A FRUSTRATED STUDENT.
