The number called again.I have pursued this for criminal action.Call came in August 26th around  5 PM Pacific time

Calls at about the same time every morning..Leaves no message...This is my cell phone and I am sick of it...

"Anita"  your post is 1/2 correct......

I "loaned" my daughters cell phone to a friend of 20+ years so that she could contact her daughter while she's at work....   She made the mistake of trying to work out a solution to her OLD student loan and called your company ..... When your company refused to work with her the harassment began..... meanwhile driving MY phone bill through the roof......

She told me about a month into it and I took the phone back and (made the same mistake by calling your company on MY cell phone to let them know the number she was dialing was registered in MY NAME and that it was MY line..... I (nicely) demanded that all calls cease and desist per the FDCPA....

Well -  they didn't...... and to add insult to injury they started calling MY NUMBER and telling me that they were seeking a "reference" for my friend..... (What a Joke!)    

Long story short-   20 phone calls later I'm SUING "your" company for violations of the TCPA (and) several other state and federal violations.......

Folks...... you CAN fight back-

Also, we do not have a "no calling list", so don't ask to be removed from it. Plus the debter owes the federal government so by law we can call to get their money back.
As I said before, not all collectors are evil. If they treat you like crap, hang up.

Hi, I actually work for Pioneer, we follow the laws. We can't call you more than 4 times a day, which means someone has been naughty or it is a different company calling you. We don't change our numbers, we have different departments that can call from different lines.  Also, we can call from 8am to 9am. Now if it's a wrong number, just tell us!! Don't get all angry about it, we have the number from the debter, maybe it was changed but we still have to call it. Also, if they call you at work and you do refuse to pay, they can start the process for a wage garnishment. Alot of people don't believe it but when 15% of their paychecks is gone then they'll want to start paying, by that time you have to pay on top of the garnishment for the rehab to get out of default.
I'll be honest, alot of collectors are greedy and I don't agree with what they say. I just want to help the people that want to be helped. I won't be mean, if you can't pay and don't have a job, then don't worry about it. Just say "do not call me on any number anymore ever" and by law we can't. That goes for just the company that has your account. Also, we don't buy your loans, we are a 3rd party for dept of edu and salliemae.
Our predictive dialer has a delay to it, so we cant hear you say hi or hello when answering, sometimes we think no one is there. Not all collectors are bad. But we have to put up with greedy managers are such. I'm looking for a new job needless to say, I hate how stressful it is. And I stick up for the debters and people get so mad at me. Hey, we're all human.

I've been harrassed by these lowlife's for @ 6 months now but
finally figured out how to get them to stop theis harassment .
First off , when they tell you that the call is being recorded ,
you cut in and say " good , because im recording this conversation also for
my records and possible legal action , Never call her here again , if you
do , the law state's i can sue for harassmant . Then tell them good-bye !
  Or , the 2nd way is a little harder but does the trick . When you pick-up
and answer , start pushing the #2 button over and over again . After a while ,
about 7-10 times , It tells the other party that the number cannot be reached !

     Good-luck ,

to all comments above:

first off an 888 or 800 num is not phony it's called toll free.  what company do u know of that makes u pay to call them back?  second if u paid your bills u wouldn't get calls at work about this!  It is absolutely not harrassment nor does it fall under do not call list rules!  You can request no calls at work and give them an alternate number to call u at that's your right.  your wages can absolutley be garnished that is no joke so don't think for one second it can't happen cuz it will!  My mom was garnished for a parent plus loan that was only in state default! if u stopped constantly screening your calls like a paranoid idiot and actually answered u may find it is indeed a wrong number and they will stop calling u, however people are human and sometimes the number isn't properly removed so relax if they accidentally call again. debt collectors are not all evil they have a job  to do just like u do so if u cooperate u may be surprised to find they can actually help u.

rude snobs not even calling for me and claim to record me, I have not allowed permission for anyone to record me and try calling the right number, they are nothing but fools....if the puppet strings that guide their every move breaks ...they are through.

play with them, take a character or person you can do without laughing and play with them, I like the old italion or jewish guy thats hard of hearing real nice and a bit senile, a little dirty mind is cool to throw in , but don't be rude, just a tad so they think your about 90 and an old wild hoot. I find they either quit calling or at least slow down, I get no calls for myself but my wife gets em, I like the ones that call for my mother-in-law, she had a stroke 11 years ago and never could communicate since, just jibberish , I put her on ....its a blast and she gets a kick out of it too. It actually adds a bit to their , I expect, pitiful unfullfilled dead end life, I mean imagine having that job!

i wish they would stop calling my house!!!!
or at least leave a message about what they want

It has been 8-10 times a day from 8a.m. to 9p.m.  They are breaking the law.  I work for a collection agency and once they are asked to stop calling then they must.  If they don't, record the calls.  Has anyone at all had success getting them to stop?

They have to be just calling random numbers because I am from the UK, and I have a US cell phone for when I come over to visit.  I don't have any loans of any kind from the US.  They've been calling at least once every morning, if not 3 or 4 times.  I've answered twice, but no one was on the line.

I have no loans and never have had any, so I don't know why they call my home. There is no message on the machine and if I answer, they hang up.  This is true harrassment with no purpose whatsoever.  The number on the caller ID is 718-475-3725

It is not Student Loan calls. It is a private number and they want to get your credit card #. They say they want to charge monthly student loan payments to it, but it is a SCAM. Do not answer a call from this number.
Caller ID: 718-475-3725
Caller: none
Caller Type: Non-Commercial

Good to know I'm not alone in this. These peopel are rude and condesending. I talked to a girl named Chanel or Chantal or something like that. I've stopped answering my phone unless it's someone I know. I'm a reporter. I'm thinking of doing a consumer piece on this type of harassment.

This people harrassed me calling at my job several times they are broken the law we have to do something about it. My student loan was in 1986 and I never attended that school now they want collect from me $41000.00 and the original loan was $5000.00

These people call about 8am every morning, and in the late afternoon and at night almost every day.  Most times the will not leave a message, the last one that actuallly stayed on long enogh to leave a voicemail just left the reciever by her keyboard while typing and carried on a conversation with a co-worker before hanging up.  This is getting old very quickly.

These people have been calling me several times a day asking for my ex. How they got my number I have no clue but no matter how many times I tell them they have the wrong number and that this is my personal cell phone they won't stop calling.

These A-holes called at 8am an hour before I was planning to wake up.  Needed to be well rested for a class I'm teach today.  And them am volunteering until 10pm after work.  So I need my sleep.
Since NO ONE I KNOW would call me at that hour I assumed it was some emergency and ran out to get the phone.  
I had to call them back. No company name, no one answered at first, just silence.  Then someone comes on the line and asks (without identifying herself) how she can help me.  "you f*cking called & woke me, what do YOU want?"  She asks for some random person who has not lived in the US for over a year.  I reiterate that this has been my private cell phone in my name for a long time now.  She CLAIMS she'll take me off the calling list, but I know they've called before, because I've already submitted several DONOTCALL complaints.

I too have been called numerous times by (718)475-3725 and they leave no message or when I answer they hang up on me.  I did however get one person to answer when I said hello but couldn't make out a word she was saying.  I asked her to take me off their call list.  A few days later the calls started again.  I called the number back last night after receiving another hang up at 8:30 pm.  They did tell me who they were looking for which was not me.  I again asked to be taken off the call list and she stated she would.  We shall see.

Who are you? Why are you calling?

We have no outstanding loans or student loans.  They keep calling & are rude & refuse our demands that they stop.  They refuse to identify themselves by name or their institution they work for.

these folks call me looking for someone else. maybe it was the person who had the number before me. but anyway, it's a wrong number and i've repeatedly asked them to not call me anymore because it's a wrong number. they continued calling 1-2 times a day,

they say that they wont stop calling me til i give them my personal information.

i filed complaints with the FCC and FTC and it was like as soon as i did these low life scumbags increased the calls from 1-2 to 3-4 a day.

since they wont stop harassing me, every time they call, i just pick up the phone and then as soon as i'm sure i have an live person i just lay the phone down on the counter and let them talk to dead air. the phone display shows that it takes the person about 30 seconds to hang up.

it only takes me about 5 minutes combined of my time a day and i know that i'm making it more expensive for them in resources, time, and personnel. if they wont stop harassing me, then that's the least i can do.

if we all turned this back in on them, i think we could make a big difference.

Its Pioneer- student loan recovery. They also use 347-689-1052. My case is a case of stolen identity 20 years ago.

I had a call on my naswering service from  Pioneer Credit again at 5:19 PM on Thursday August 28th.Again STOP CALLING MY NUMBER,CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY OR face criminal prosecution.Your calls ARE being monitered and are taken to the local DA and Sherriff's Department for criminal charges.I will aso sue your company and ALL workers! I wil also report you tothe BBB.

Every morning between 8:00am and 8:30am I receive 2 to 3 calls from 718-475-3725, caller I.D. says "Queens NY". That is all I know. After reading the other comments it is obvious they are a collection agency. I, like many others should not and do not have a student loan. I am wondering how these people were able to obtain work phone numbers. They are scammers who figure if they have a big enough net they can scoop up a few people who will send them money and then they close that operation down and start another always one step ahead of the law. If there are enough complaints to the Attorney General's office in NY eventually there will be an investigation.

Number - 718-475-3725 calling me. I have no clue how they got my number because it is coming through on my business 1-800 line that forwards automatically on my cellphone. I say they leave a voicemail about half the time, and its a computerized woman looking for a man who I have never heard of. Attempted to call them back to no avail. This is annoying since this is a BUSINESS line that sends to my cellphone and they call at all hours of the day and night.

My story is the same except there are/were no student loans.  Any way to stop their calls.  I'm retired and sometimes I sleep later than 8 AM, except when these calls come through.

Some moron called my business from this number today and asked for my HR department.  I told him we don't have one, and what is this pertaining to.  He said that he needed the department that handled the garnishment of wages and I told him that we don't have any department like that.  He smirked and replied "Oh you don't have one, huh?".  I then asked his name and what this call is about, and more importantly who is he calling for, he refused to tell me anything and hung up on me.

My manfreind heard a phone message for me from the same company at the same time I was being verbally assualted by Lisa.This gal's name was Jennifer Kyle.I heard the message on the naswering machine whenI got home.She left me her scam number as 888-287-0597,ext.22243.
