How did that "someone" prove to you, on the phone, that he was, indeed, an authorized agent of the alleged creditors?
Did he flash a badge, or what?
What special information, unavailable to that alleged authorized agent via, say, the Internet, did you provide?
Why did you provide it?
Regards,
You have to give references on you student loan apps that are friends/family for just this purpose. I’m sure it’s their first line of defense when they lose contact with someone. Whey did I trust the inquirer, mostly because I’m a trusting person and I wasn’t giving out any information other than and address and/or a phone number (it’s been a while). Why? Because I’m an honest person and believe others should be, too. They took out the loan, they weren’t in any sort of hardship, so they should be paying back the money as they agreed.
