Could you provide more into...

You had a 90-day late. How did the six other accounts come into the picture, and report late?  Same default?

Puzzling.

How did one account turn into six?

Each late is a derog.  Big time hit on your credit score.

Call them and find out how one account turned into six.

Who is the OC on each? 
What is the DOFD on each?

That's an easy one: The OP had, originally, 6 loans that were eventually consolidated to one loan. It's *extremely* common, from what I understand, to get a loan for each year of college -- many get several loans for a single year, depending on the college and studies.

What *often* happens with SLs is that if you have (we'll use the OP's number of derog loans for the example) 6 loans with $100 due on each loan, and you only pay $500, EACH loan is shorted since they attribute equal payments to each loan. At least, that's how DH's were (before we consolidated).

As for the account numbers, DH had 8 loans and each one had consecutive account numbers (his SSN + "1", his SSN + "2," etc). For SLs to have that kind of numbering structure isn't uncommon.

When they were still 6 sep accts, were the lates for the same months?

 

If so, they can't NOW post (for instance) 6 30 day lates for Jan 07...

 

HOW are they posted?  In other words....what were the lates...and now...what are the lates?

Sounds like the payments were consolidated, but the loans were not consolidated until later.

 

So the OP was only making one payment, but SM broke up that one payment and applied it to each loan separately, according to its formula.  This is very typical for student loans, and this would probably be better assigned to the SL section on these boards.

 

I had the same thing happen in 2005.  And yes, each loan can absolutely show the late payment.  Another thing they can do is, if you pay less than the full amount, they won't make the full payment on any of the six, and will still count all 6 late.

 

If you head over to the SL section, and do a search on SM, you'll find that SallieMae is extremely GW adverse.  They don't really care.  They will report it exactly correctly.  And very often, where folks' reports were not showing all of the lates, 30's, 60's, 90's, but only the 90's, after they receive the GW letter, they will "correct" the account to show every single 30, 60, 90 late.  Which makes it 20 times worse.

 

So you're lucky they didn't do that.  Or maybe all your lates were already showing.  Basically, you don't have any other options.  You can continue to try to GW, but like I said, it is very VERY rare for them to grant that, and I only know of one case where they did, and it wasn't on these forums.  They just have to age off.

 

The only good news is that installment loans do not count for very much of your score.
