Time to anoint this thread in Extra Strength Shill-B-Gone!

Boy! This doesn't feel scripted at all :). I don't for one second suspect that you may have been paid by this company to put something super duper ruper muper positive about them on this site.

Another shill!

So you had to post, twice, shill?!

My aunt received a call from this number asking for me and I called back and spoke to Ben. He was polite, kind and very helpful. Nothing like any other collection agency I've ever spoken to. He helped me resolve my issue and that was that. No negative things to say.

I have been avoiding their calls for a while. But I finally did call them back. I did talk to Ben King. I was also surprised that they DID NOT threaten me. They actually seemed to be NICER. I have a lot of other collectors calling me and they are horrible. But this guy was pretty nice :) My Wayne State University Perkins loans had fell into default. They did give me the option to consolidate my student loans. I sent in the forms and was able to get everything rolled into one loan through Sallie Mae and Dept of education for free. I am now going to put my loans in deferrment. These guys are not that bad. They did help me. . But if u have past due student loans, then u might try to call them back.

1-800-333-3169 called and said they were looking for my brother w/ no success. When I called my brother to tell him, he said the same guy just called him looking for me. It was a guy named Ben King @ 1-800-333-3169 Ext 265. He wouldn't give any info. Said he has been trying to mail forms to my brother and hasn't heard back from him.

Obviously you troll these pages if you respond to Amy's post.  Proves how deceitful you and your company are.

If this were a legitimate company the caller ID would identify who they are and they would identify themselves and why they are calling. I keep getting what I have to assume are calls intended to harass from this number... they ring my phone and then hang up without identifying themselves or speaking. After we log a few more of their attempts at harassment it will be time to file a lawsuit.

This is very untrue.  We've never been told to "write about ourselves" on these sites.  Why don't you check out our BBB, and then come back here and let me know what you see. You'll see an A+ rating.  People feel good when they hang up with us, because we help them.  We don't badger them like other agencies do.  We know that we don't make money by being rude, or making these students/borrowers feel like crap.  We're here to help!!

Just fyi!  They have their reps post here good stuff about the company--- it's crap- so don't believe the posts

This company has called me hundereds of times looking for a Dashawn Howard. I have told them everytime they have the wrong number and they continue to call. I am sick of dealing with them daily, weekly and monthly.
800-333-3169 i do know that it is for student loans.

Same here.  I avoided their phone calls for months, because I can't stand speaking to collectors.  But, they were so different.  I talked to Jennifer Morgan.  She was so great to work with.  The debt i had was with Colorado College, for like 20k.  She helped me consolidate all of my student loans, and even told me how to get deferment for 3 years.

They must not work on commission, or something.  I guess that's why most collectors are mean, because they just want your money.  I could tell Jennifer was only trying to help me, not herself.  

I'm very thankful that I talked with them.  If you get a call from this #, i suggest you pick up!!  They are here to help!!

I AM CONSTANTLY RECEIVING PRANK CALLS FROM 1800333-3169 EVERY DAY! 2XA DAY! HOWEVER I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS TIES TO THIS COMPANY,AS THIS NUMBER CALLS, I ANSWER THE CALLER CONTINUES TO HANG UP!!!!! I THEN FINALLY CALLED THIS NUMBER BACK AND ASKED. WHAT COMPANY WAS THIS, THE FEMALE THEN TOLD ME N.C.M. I ASKED HER WHAT DID THIS STAND FOR? SHE STATED NATIONAL CREDIT MANAGEMENT, I THEN EXPLAINED THE NATURE OF ME CALLING THIS NUMBER.AND ASKED WHAT HER NAME IS! SHE STATED AMY!!! SOMEHOW I COULD TELL SHE IS LYING & COVERING FOR SOMEONE ELSE! SHE THEN WENT ON TO EXPLAINE SHE IS LOOKING FOR A MR, THOMAS! SOMEONE @ THIS COMPANY IS ABUSING TELEPHONE TIME AND I WILL FIND OUT EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE!! BUT FIRST I WILL SUMMITT A REPORT IN RESPECTS THIS NUMBER NEVER HAS THE PRIVILEGES TO PRANK CALL MY NUMBER AGAIN! THEN ILL WAIIIIT FOR RESULTS! 1 WEEK WITHOUT ANY RESULTS AND ILL FIND YOU AND EXPLAIN TO YOU ....................

Please have Ben at ext 265 stop stalking me. He calls my family, non-family, and my work.

Got a call from this number on my cell and my work phone and they represented themselves as an employer and said that someone has used me as a reference and asked me to call back. Not happening. They person they are looking for did default on a school loan.

Not sure how I should proceed with this group.  They've called me repeatedly and I have sent them a written request for documentation about these alleged loans.  I use "alleged" because my loans DID default and I had my tax returns withheld for 5-6 years until they were all paid.  I have YET to receive the written response I asked for almost 3 months ago with the documentation I asked for.  My ex-husband (now deceased) had caused me some problems and there are items on my credit report that I have no idea where they came from; addresses where I never lived, etc.  All I want before talking to them is a common frame of reference, but this basic request has been ignored.  Ugh!  I ask for respect and get ignored!  Guess what?  So do they.

I had fell behind on my student loans so I said what the heck and called them up. Surprisingly they DID NOT cuss me out or verbally abuse me like other agencies. They actually treated me like a normal human being.  I was able to consolidate my loans with the Dept of Education and get out of default. And my also payments got lower. I am actually happy with National Credit Management. Now I got a fresh start with my student loans!

I get one or two calls from this number but not one message.  I thought it was a solicitation to sell something.

these idiots actually called me at my job. they don't say who they are and just leave a reference number. it's starting to make me really mad.

a guy keeps calling my phone and would only say his name and states that he has important documentation to go over with me and that he has been trying to call me several times....blah..blah..blah...when I called after hours, they wouldn't even say the company's name.

Bad machine translation but good enough to verify what Madre said since I have a child with student loans.

Hi, This message is for. Nella back. Well, my name is Amy Fisher. I'm calling because Shawn Carver left you as a contact reference. All that means is that if we were unable to reach and that you would be able to get a message to him for us, so I was hoping you could pass my information on two The number to reach me is 1(800) 333-3169 and my direct extension is 214. I do appreciate your help. Thank you.

This company called and misrepresented themselves to gain collection information on a relative who no longer lives at this address. When the message was passed along to that relative, he called them and found out they are a collection agency for student loans.

Got a phone call. No message left.

Same here.. they said my name was given as a reference by someone .. like it was a job reference, and they had been unable to reach him.  They asked me to have this person call them. Deceitful.  My number is unlisted.. they are trolls.  Looking to collect on a college loan.  If they would have been truthful I'd have no problem.  Misrepresentation = zero respect.

This company called and misrepresented themselves by telling me they were looking to contact a cousin of mine who had listed me as a reference in some paper work.  I suspect the company trolled Facebook for my connection to this cousin as it's the only contact I've had with her in over a decade.  They called my cell number, which this cousin has never known.  She confirmed that she has never listed me as a reference on any paperwork.

They are a collection company that collects on defaulted school loans or debts. They actually treat people with respect.  They did not speak to me abusively like alot of my other collectors. They gave me the option to consolidate my student loans. I did not even know where all of mine were. I was able to get a lower payment and all my loans out of default. Now I can go back to school in the summer. Hope this helps.

I received a voicmail from them saying that it was someone from the IL State Board of Education and that he sent me a very important package and wanted to make sure I received it.  I did not receive the package and am pretty sure they are mis-representing themselves.
