My first post since lurking, but this record is hitting me hard.
I am working on tenderly getting my FICO up to get approved for a 1st Time Home.
I used to go to another school and numerous things happened (job/life) in 2005/2006 that I needed to quit building up and focus instead on shelter and food for about a year. (Almost ALL my bad marks are from 10/2006-2/2007).
I have SINCE paid all my student loans in FULL and enrolled in another school (March 2009).
I sent US Bank a GW letter to remove negatives on an old student loan.
Instead of just saying no to the GW Letter (which they did, "must report accurately"), the records on my report get consolidated, updated and messed up.
Now it's showing:

I called 1-800-835-4611 and it says "your account is in an in-school status" and lists $4750 as my principal balance. The rep said "we don't show you as being reported to the Credit Bureau, and we'll send you a letter confirming your in school current status with next payment due October 14, 2014".
Advice on next step?
