Re: Beginning my Goodwill Campaign

How long should I wait to send out a second round of letters? What is an appropriate wait-time for GW Letters?

Ehh......

 

Once a week seems too frequently in my opinion.. I subscribed to the send once a month plan..

 

Well, I would send one snail mail a month; and I might try other avenues in between, like emails, website forms ect ect

 

Once a week is pretty costly, time consuming and stressful;; but I had a lot more accounts to take care of.

Re: Beginning my Goodwill Campaign

Hello, who was your contact for American Student Assistance? I've emailed them and they will not budge with 2 of my defaulted loans being paid in full. I spoke with their Agency Relations Department and the rep I spoke with advised me there's nothing they can do, it will stay on my report for 7 years.
