debt collector

These people call here daily. Very demanding and expect me to hop to and give them what they ask for. I just laugh and put the phone next to the TV where they can listen to the news while get another cup of coffee.

The next day here they are again. I'm 65, retired and graduated over 25 years ago. Loans paid off 20 years ago. Someone wants me to give them information as if I'm on their payroll. Screw that.
I don't answer any questions unless they use a Visa or American Express. I don't accept Master Card or Dinners Club. When the funds are transfered to my account, $50.00 per question, they can setup an appointment with my wife. I might be available in 2013. But, don't count on it. Slots fill up fast. I'm not getting any younger.

Information costs money. Always ask, what card will you be using for this transaction? Keep repeating that after every attempt to get information. They usually hang up in discust.

I'm on every DO NOT CALL LIST in the Country. But, I get 20 calls a day. Thats our Government for ya. All talk and no action.

Called twice today, but wouldn't identify themselves.  Asked for me, I do not give anyone I don't know any information, and told them they had the wrong number.  After googling the number, it turns out it's a Student Loan Collection Agency, or a Scam Agency.  My Ex-Wife probably stopped paying her student loans, and since I was a contact from years past, they are probably trying to get information from me in regards to this.  Do not talk to them, Hang up.

do they only contact for student loans?  Anything else?  I don't have student loans, don't know of any unpaid debt, but this number keeps calling me.

I was called by this person today asking me if I knew another person. I did not know the other person and would give out any information. They said the name of the company was PRI and would NOT tell me what it stood for; stating it was private and they could not give info.

I have been getting phone calls everyday from this number also (541-955-7800) no messages left. I never answer the phone, just waiting for some sort of message that tells me who they are. Is there a way to get them to stop calling?

I just got a call from this lady over 5 times because I kept hanging up on her.  She asked if Amanda was there.  Mind you this is my work #.  When I told her no she said Amanda don't lie to me I know it is you.  Really?!?!  Then asked to take with my office manager.  Go right ahead rudd [***]!

This number has called my son repeatedly who does not even live in the same state as me, looking for me.

Holy Cow!   I just googled this number to see who it might be... And I saw your post... It was Rita Hill who called me too!  I'm afraid I was too nice to her now... :/  She didn't ask for my social security number...  can you block someone from calling your phone number?  She has called like 10 times now between me and my wife looking for her... But she said they were called PRI?  what the heck?

I received a call from this # about 10 minutes ago. Didn't answer cause didn't know the number.  When I did a search on the net I found this blog. Whay I find crazy is today when login to my Facebook account I got a notice that an unknown computer/device try to log in to my account.  Gave me some information about what state and all the login attempt was made. If I knew the information to hit confirm if not change password.  I changed my password!  Then I get this call today. Don't have any student loans.  My son is only 13. So he has no loans for college. Just find it very strange don't know if the 2 are linked Facebook hacking & call? Also caller ID didn't say DSC. It was Preformant Reco!!! Left no voicemail either???

I received a call from them today, didn't leave a message. About fifteen minutes later they called my uncle with the same last name. He said who is this and what was it about. They would not state who or what they were calling about. They asked him again if they knew me giving personal information about myself. He stated again he is not giving any information out and asked them why are they calling him. The woman was rude to him on the phone, told him it was personal and could not state anything. He asked them why they were calling him then if it was not him they were looking for and why they kept asking if he knew me. The woman repeatedly kept ignoring him asking who they were and what they wanted and she hung up

Yesterday - 9 calls. Today so far (at noon) 2 calls. No messages - ever.
some of them being a minute apart. At what point is this harassment?
Collection agency or telemarketer - either way I think they are going a little too far.
If you have something to say to me that you need to call me every 2 minutes - leave a flippin message and I will call you back. I'm not going to answer, so this will be the only way you will be able to contact me.

PRI makes sense - I read other posts after posting mine.
They would be collecting for Great Lakes Higher Education

If you don't have a student loan out yourself, they're digging for any information they can get on people who do have student loans past due, whether it's your neighbor, friend, relative, anyone they can possibly get info so they might be able to reach the loan holder. Don't bother answering their calls. If you have a way to block their number, do it. Of course they'll probably just come up with another number to bug you with. I'm glad I found this site too. I designated the # as "DSC Don't answer" in my caller listings, in case they call at a moment I have my mind occupied.

Never answer call from persons or companies I don't know, or from unidentified callers, so I can't tell you much about these guys.The ringing doesn't bother me--I get a thrill out of ignoring calls I don't feel like taking!

Call times by this phone, no more! Please, you need to see your doctor! Man!

I received a phone call today from 541-955-7800 asking me about my neighbors next door by their names and saying that he is trying to get hold of them and he needs my help.

Caller, Jen Walker, just asked for my daughter and said she gave me permission to talk to them.  She wanted my daughter's number and said it was urgent. Had her current address and where she currently works.

When I asked what is it about she kept telling me she wasn't at liberty to tell me only that my daughter used my name as a reference.  The company came up as Performant Records.  

I told her I wanted more information.  She says well I'ldd give you my number and you call me. Her number to verify that its a company the number 1-800-927-7781 x7781

I ask how this will help she hangs up.

Same number you all have 1-541-955-7800
