888-337-8331

They call once or twice a day on my cell phone.They never say ANYTHING- just hang up every time.

I have missed calls on my corporate business phone caller ID from this number 888-337-8831.  They called several times on weekends in January 2008.  No message left.

this is the VanRu collection agency. they called my work and told a co-worker my business. then when i called them back they questioned my integraty and tried to belittle me. they were nasty and hung up on me twice. it is my understanding that there is a class action lawsuit being filed against them.

Call often, but hang up when they detect an answering machine or fax on the line. NO idea who they are, as I owe no debts.

These people call about a defaulted student loan from florida from 1981:  the loan was thru the state of fla, but then without my consent or anyone else was sold to wachovia in the early 80s.  A few thousand was paid on it but they claim they have no records, no record of the paid amount (there were cancelled checks to show pymt), and how these guys entered I do not know since I got letters from Fed Student loan people saying they were garnishing tax refunds.  They are unprofessional and break the law, calling repeatedly even after warnings.  I have no reason to deal with them at all.

This is the last straw...These people have called an ex-boyfriend of mine to ask where I was..The nerve..And I already have my income tax garnished and has been for 6 years...So what do they want now. They need to leave me alone.

Repeatedly calling leaving no messages.

I've been getting calls from this number once a day for the last 2 weeks. Everytime I answer they ask for some person I've never heard of. I've repeatedly asked to be taken off of their calling list, yet I keep receiving calls! How annoying!

These people keep calling me as well, never leaving a message.  Considering the problems other people have had, I doubt it would do me much good to actually ANSWER and tell them to remove my number from their list.

Last night, my husband actually called these people back and spoke with someone.  The guy said they were looking for a "Gwen."  We don't know anyone named Gwen; my husband asked the guy to take our number off their records.  Ten minutes later, the phone rings again - and it's these people again!  My husband answered but no one was on the other end.  Incredible that they can get away with this!

people....pay back your loans and they wont call you!!!

They keep calling my Skype online number. I've never given this number out to businesses, so I can only assume it's a wrong number.

VanRu is the company and they are calling for someone I do not know at all. I called them and they have removed me number from there list. I do not have any student loans is what I told them. The man was very nice and he "said" he removed my number. Just have to wait and see if they call me again.

Keep calling for someone who does not live here. When I call bacck there is no answer.

Okay, so Van Ru, I was like what is this Dutch company doing calling my azz
And they told me this was for some student loan from ages ago and I told them this was from years ago you have no right to call me NOW! They told me that there are no time limits on student loans....
They've been taken my taxes for years now... I payed and payed but they are still calling me...
I just gave up and let it go... Eventually they had the nerve to Garnish my wages... I HAVE KIDS TO FEED! HOW DARE THEY! I was in a hole....

TAKE CARE  OF YOUR LOANS... It took me like 3 months to stop my garnishment
I talk to a lawyer, I talked to debt relief groups... No one knew how to stop my garnishment...

I googled "Student Loan Garnishment" and I found a book called Student Loan blue print
and it changed my life.... WHY DIDNT THE LAWYER KNOW ABOUT THIS?
I had to share this with all Yaws http://www.studentloanfundamentals.com

Anyways....
IF VAN RU CALLS YOU, CALL THEM BACK, THEY MEAN BUSINESS

These unscrupulous collectors (who are paid $8 an hour to harass you)  will actually scramble their caller ID's so it looks like a local call coming from your area code. This is a violation of the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009. Punishable by a $10K fine. Call them out on it if this happens and document everything.

And, I agree with what is stated above - DON'T answer your phone even if you don't know the number, EVEN if it comes from a "supposedly" local area code!!
