The number is legit and it is from the NSLSC. Someone from this number called me tonight just before 9pm and when I answered, he/she hung up. I called the number back and the guy on the phone said he was calling on behalf of NSLSC and asked for my SIN. I told him that I googled the number and thought it a scam. I said I was going to call NSLSC directly. He offered the number but I refused stating that I had it. I then called the NSLSC directly and after punching in my SIN, was re-directed to the number that initially called and actually got the same guy! I told him that I was following up on a suspicious number and that I spoke with someone earlier and he said "that was me". They seem totally legit. But be suspicious BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW...IT ONLY TAKES ONLY PHONE CALL! Stay vigilant!

It's canadian student loans... I had moved and my address wasn't updated so they had returned mail, i's not necessarily collections.

I got a call from them yesterday and it was about interest relief. They didn't ask for my SIN. He asked me what my birthday was and then he read off my address for me. Nothing was said about missed payments, just about the forms I hadn't mailed in yet.

Seemed totally legit to me.

They are calling you because you owe money on your Canada Student Loan.
In fact it's because you are behind in payments.
And if you don't answer, and deal with their s**t, they will hand over your account to a collections agency, and damn your credit rating to hell.

I just called Student Loans to double check. The agent I spoke with said the number was one of theirs before I got the last 4 digits out. I guess it's legit. I called Student Loan's 866 number. They had called me because they tried to mail me something and had an old address on file.
