Here's some info I recieved from my state board of financial aid. If Van Ru claims that they are calling about a student loan you can visit this site to find out WHO actually is owed for your loans at this time. www.nslds.ed.gov
If you don't recall your pin for the fafsa, then you can request at this site also. Or you can call this number 800 433 3243 and they can tell you if Van Ru has a right to collections toward your student loans.
By the way, the people at my state financial board here in Louisiana says they have never heard of this group at all related to collections.
Hope this info is helpful.

Just to follow-up on my previous complaint I registered on here March 10th, 2011. I called the corporate number, refused to send them any money, and wrote a dispute letter that I researched online for the wording, and have not heard from them since. Don't give in to this fraudulent company. Know your rights. Research validation lawsl! Use this website to start...http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/debt_validation.shtml

I have tried to work with this company. The first time they called the person was very rude and unprofessional. They demanded payment or they would garnish my payroll check.

I started on a program that I felt was going to help me clear this debit only to be laid off from work.

I had given them permission to withdraw $50 from my checking account. I was under the impression it was to be a one time deal, only to have them hit it again the following month. I called and told them not to withdraw anymore, but the following month it happens again. I called asking why they were doing this. The guy laughed and said that the check had been returned. Well no ****! The account has been idle for several months with a negative balance while I tried to get it back into the positive.

This company uses scare tactics to get people to pay. So I am getting a lawyer!

Does vanru work with anyone other than department of education student loans? Because they are calling 10-20 times a day and I do not have any student loan.

Does vanru work with other people besides dept of ed? They are calling 10-20 times but don't have any student loans...
