Received two calls from 641-624-6257 as well as 2 other calls from other numbers all within a 30 minute period. The voicemail stated it was Jenny from the National Student Loan Center. She stated that my student loan is eligible for full forgiveness and that they need my authorization to complete the process. Told me to call 848.236.1296.

Thing is, whether my student loans are forgiven or not I will never pay a single cent towards them so why the h**l would I care if they are forgiven?

Received a call/voicemail from Brett saying he was from the National Student Loan Center. The call came from 715-473-8500. He said my student loan was flagged for full discharge and needed authorization to complete and to call back at 878-216-4018. He didn't mention my name, the amount, or even office hours he said that he would be in the office all day. I haven't called back but I thought it didn't sound right.
