I am glad for this Web site.  I am going to kill the person who keeps calling my number.  Literally.  They are going to be beaten to death ... slowly ... over a period of a few days for the hell they put me through.  I work odd hours so these vultures call in the middle of my night, putting my life on the line since I drive everywhere at night.  I can't wait to get my hands on one of these vermin.

Soon.

they called me wanting to talking about a defaulted student loan. it was a case of mistaken identity and i was able to get it squared away. honest mistake.

None of your punishing and judgmental banter amounts to a bucket full of warm spit. I don't owe bad debts or overdue payments or student loans unpaid and considering that, I don't need some jerk calling me on my cell phone and running up my tab to harass me. They are either crooks seeing how much they fling will stick to the wall or their record keeping is so bad they need to go back to schools themselves and learn how to keep names and places straight.

I don't care if it's Jesus Christ that called from Guarantee. They have no business running up my cell phone bill calling on the chance I might know a friend of a friend who had a loan with them.

You gave some unknown telemarketer your name and numbers? What, like driver's license number or social security number? Best hope your bank account isn't emptied out tonight.

I was unable to pick up phone, calld back to find out.  I asked the rep , why did you call my house, they do not have my phone number ,, asked my homephone number, I askea question , cannot see on your lcd screen who is calling? Answer was no, Proviced my home phone number, denied to provide my ss number. Provided my first name and phone number. Rep insisted me to provide my last name. I clearly told her that if the call is about that name I am the guy, talked to me what is the call is about. She denied to talk and I denied to provide and told very clearly if it is in about that fisrt name : do no call and she hang on me.
In past some body left a message on my answering machine, could not put on U-tube. It was hillarious. Capatin Cook , wanted to talk about my debt and threatned that he can put me on jail.

Im in the 10th grade and they are calling my cellphone about my student loans what?

They garnished your social security?????

I had a loan for $27,000 & paid them over $80,000, I produced checks in court proving that they collected over $12,000 without crediting payment.  They also lied in court, saying that I borrowed $41,000.  Both sides produced promissory notes totaling $27,000 & they couldn't tell the judge where the other $14,000 came from.  They called and harassed my family & friends multiple times per day (I didn't have a phone) for months on end, even though told not to do so.  They seemingly paid off the judge, as he refused to punish them for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, but the judge also did not order me to pay them a dime.  They stressed me out so bad that I had to start seeing a psychiatrist who said stress caused my problem to act up so I couldn't work...then they garnished my Social Security benefits without notice, lying to Social Security about who they were.  These people are thieves to say the least and it would be best for the country if they were to go out of business!

These ppl are calling about a bill that is NOT mine to pay!!! So even with MY bills PAID my # has been given out by a "trusted family member" and these ppl call me requesting $ from someone that has nothing to do with this debt. BTW, why are YOU researching this phone number and then barking orders at others to pay their bills? You've got TOO MUCH TIME on your hands. C'mon now...:)

Never had a Student Loan.  They keep calling my business numbers.  My children had no Student Loans.  I don't belive in not working to make enough money to go to school and find that the State of Texas allowing this company to operate to be a violation to my privacy rights.  They also cost me money by taking my time to try and respond to MY CUSTOMERS by tying my phones up 5 and 6 times a day.  Get a Life.

So be sure you have facts straight please. First, you don't get three years of forbearance to postpone your loans, 3-6 months only of grace period after leaving school and not everyone in repayment qualifies for forbearance.  Just because you ask for forbearance doesn't mean you will get it. Second, Just because some one takes out students loans doesn't mean they are TRYING to a burden to the tax payers. Third, as you pointed out, the government will get their money, even if the person tries not to pay. Fourth, loans get sold and some lenders don't communicate well with borrowers and payments get missed. That doesn't mean non-payment is intentional or that some is TRYING to not pay. Most lenders will work with the borrowers. Please don't ever gloat or go on a tirade over some else mistakes or misfortune.  You never know when you could end up in a similar situation.

They called me today to pull my Student Loans out of default. My husband and I were on the verge of losing our tax refund because of the student loans i have, but they really will try to work with you and aren't rude. If they call you and you want them to stop or you arent the right person, all you have to do is tell them that.

That doesnt mean that someone couldnt have taken out a student loan in ur name or used a fake phone number either way just call them back and find out what the deal is, better safe than sorry, right?

ahh! just cuz u say so huh?

Dianne don't live at this address anymore. so please stop calling this number, as of today.
thanks

Left a message,don't have a student loan and I know of no one with a student loan from TX!

do not know why they are calling..just left message.

The person that you are looking for does not live at this number. Please do not call.

Let's get the story straight. If you don't want collection calls, then pay your bills. It's that easy. If you don't want to pay the loans, don't get them in the first place. Also, these people that default on their loans get at least three years of forbearance to postpone their payments. No sympathy whatsoever. Then they want to be a burden on the taxpayer by having the government pay for their education whether they graduated or not. Thank God they can garnish wages, take tax refunds, and even lottery winnings! Federal student loans aren't charity. C'mon now.

They keep calling looking for my niece who does not live with me and I'm tired of getting this calls.  I have passed on the messages but am she does not call them I can not help them now they calling talking about have her call it?s about a job offer now they have resort to lying.

Chris @ TG. They do not call me on my personal phone. Instead, they insist on calling me at work. I hate bill collectors. I know this is my fault in all. But, I had a baby, and I just do not have time right now to finish my degree. :( Really regretting getting student loans now.

Got a call from them today.  Didn't have a pen when they said the number (it was a recording)... I assumed they'd repeat it, but they didn't.  Had to get it off of caller ID to call back.

After navigating thru their menu, the voice prompt asked me to enter my SSN.  I had no idea who this company is, so there was no way I was doing that.  After 3 times of hearing, "Invalid response", I finally got an operator.

She was looking for somebody who was not me, and did not live here (and she ascertained this by asking what phone # was called... *not* by asking me for my SSN).  She was perfectly pleasant and said she'd remove my number from the system.

Don't have any issues with the company itself... either somebody gave a wrong #, or we inherited somebody's old #.  They're just doing their job, and the person I spoke with was nice enough.

But they could make it a little bit easier to get back in touch with them and talk to a person (e.g. repeat the # I'm supposed to call back... give me a "press 0 to talk to an operator" instead of asking up front that I put in my SSN, etc.

Getting calls from this number but nobody speaks when I answer the phone. If this does have to do with student loans, I  don't have any.
I wish they'd quit calling.

any profane name i could come up with would barely scratch the surface of describing how horrible anyone would have to be to work for TG. these people are the worst.

This is definitely Texas Guaranteed.  They are a legitimate company dealing with defaulted student loans.  If they are calling you and are trying to reach someone else, just tell them they have a wrong number and ask to have your number removed from their system.  They will probably direct you to someone else who can assist you.  They are very nice people and work very hard to help out people who have defaulted on their student loans.  They are not scumbags, or d-bags, or any other profane name you can come up with.  They are a legitimate company who's sole purpose is to assist people in financial trouble.

This number called me but I dont have voice mail and I didnt answer so i dont know what they wanted.

They keep calling, the attorney general's office has already a case open on them and my number is on the do not call list, yet they still call.

She told me I had defaulted without even checking that I was the right person.  Then, after I told her there was no way that was true, she checked my info against her computer and figured out she didn't have the right person. I guess they don't check the names/numbers against their computers before they call.

Got a call from this number. I didn't answer put they left a VM and some woman named Valerie from Texas Guaranty said she was looking for Janet but didn't say why.
