I have student loans that I haven't dealt with for a long time, they kept making impossible demands and hounding me, turned me over to collections even though I was paying what I could. That was years ago.
I got a phone call from someone claiming they were trying to deliver mail to me at a very old address (6+ years old, I applied for the loans here, but moved to go to school). They said they worked for a company called newcom and wanted my address, they had mail for me but didn't know who it was from. I was leery so I said I'm moving right away I'll phone them back in 3 weeks with my new address. 5 minutes later someone from another province phones to confirm my date of birth. Someone is going to some trouble to track me down, the only thing I can think is student loans, which should be stats barred very soon if not already.
What consitiutes action on my account? Do I have to know it's in reference to my loans when I communicate with them, or do they just have to get me to acknowledge my identity, in order to prevent being stats barred?
I really don't want to deal with these people again, it was very difficult and I'm very angry with them and the way I was treated. Advice is welcome.

Hi Breaching White.
I think the sentence "deal with them again" has a huge story to it. Am I correct?
Can you provide more info on why you werent able to pay your student loans? I'm assuming you didnt just avoid them or were there extenuating circumstances?
Just want to know, as the policy of this site is quite clear... a little more background on why you werent able to pay and if there's been hardship we'd be happy to help- and it would help set the tone for the rest of the forum...
Hope you find help here if you need it...
