I got my student loans goodwilled to remove all negatives. I have 5 accounts (2 current (sub+unsub), 2 closed (sub +unsub), and 1 combined (accnt number was ssn))
1. 2011 - Direct Loans closed by 1 consolidation loan because account nbr was ssn...
2. 2011 - DL opened 2 accounts for me (one sub and unsub) without my ssn in the account number
3. 2012 - DL transferred my loans (closed the ones in #2) and transfered to another servicer who opened 2 accounts (sub+unsub)
#3 has no lates
#2 each had 4 lates in 2012
#1 had 1-6 lates depending on CRA.
I requested a goodwill for removing last 4 lates on #2 (both accounts, DL gave me a letter that they would delete). Here is the result of my disputes
Round 1 - Disputed all 3 (Tu, EX and EQ validated loans #3 and #2)
Round 2 dispute - TU removed all lates from one of the #2, validated lates on #1, EX and EQ validdated lates on #1 and cleared lates on both #2 loans
So what do I do? I called DL and they have no lates on my account. They are backlogged and can't resend to the CRA's electronically again. All 3 CRA's are reporting lates which is inaccurate since the OC has no late payments in the system.
I am afraid another dispute would be deemed frivolous. On the last dispute I sent a copy of the letter from DL which showed the account numbers and that there were no late payments on it. I don't know how the CRA's can validate late payments when the OC has no record of the late payments anymore and I have a letter stating there are no late payments.
Welcome to the forums.
Why did you dispute with the CRAs and when did you do this?
BTW - I asked for the goodwill since in 2012 DL gave me a retroactive deferrement, so none of my lates should have been reporting. I just requested that they updated my account to remove the lates due to the deferrment.
DL said they would update in 48 hours in the end of june. I didn't see an update in a week so I disputed with the CRA's. I figured since my accounts were clean, that there was no way a CRA could validate late tradelines that were no longer reporting from the OC.
The disputes were resolved within 3 weeks stating that there was still a delinquency on each of my 3 accounts, when there wasn't. So I called DL again and asked if I had any negative items/late pays which they said my account is clean with pays as agreed and no late pays, so I disputed again with the CRA's.
The CRA's updated 2 of the three accounts as clean and never late. I contacted DL and they said it was sent electronically and they would send the update again but it could take over 3 months before they get to my request due to backlogs.
All three CRA's have validated late payments which don't exist with DL. Since DL reported all 3 accounts as never late to the CRA's once and the CRA's did not update, I am not confident that DL has the ability to update the CRA's.
So I am stuck in limbo (3 closed accounts which have 0 late pays and pays as agreed as told to me by creditor, and 1 of the accounts showing late multiple times by all three CRA's - Except each CRA shows different dates for each of the lates). I have no idea how the CRA's can validate with the OC and have different lates when the OC has 0 lates on my account. Could the CRA's have validated with anyone else besides DL?
Unsure of my next step. any ideas? A friend told me I should sue each CRA in small claims for reporting incorrect information. Since I have correspondence from DL stating I have no lates, they said it should be an open and shut case.
