I have a student loan (perkins) that is in collection on my credit report currently. The loan does not show on my cr as in default (although technically it is), just as a collection account. The ca that they have turned the loan over to is not (and will not, I have it in writing) reporting.
I have consolidated this loan and when the school receives the money (the check was mailed on 10/3) they are going to update it to paid through consolidation. So essentially, it will appear as though the loan was never in default.
I am wondering, should I expect a significant increase in my score when this is all updated? I'm hoping so. I have seen improvement in my fico but I am still waiting for those 30, 40 and 50 pt jumps LOL! I'm hoping since this is new (this year) that having it removed will help out my EQ score as it is the PITS!!
