Is the poster Gizmotchy below is the same person trying to get you to purchase his "system?" Hmmm.
My advice - just wait them out. In six more months they will lose most of their scoring impact. In the meantime build on the positive side of the equation.

Definately not! I do things the right and legal way! Yes, I disputed some student loan tradelines, but in the firm belief that they should not be there anymore since my loans had been rehabbed. I only give advice on 2 forums - here, and on Reddit's /r/credit board (under a different name). In fact, if you look closely at my post history, you'll see where I asked for advice on what to do about those student loan entries in the appropriate forum!

You disputed valid marks bc you believe they shouldn't be there ? Lol
He also stated that it was because they were rehabbed. A legitimate reason.
Back to the OP. I would be wary of anyone making such promises.

My cuz in was just asking me about her student loans.... so you have a chance of getting rid of the lates if you rehab them? Is it just luck which CAS go for it?
Shamrock, it's not a guarantee after rehab, but often they do go away. In my case, prior to rehab, my reports showed 2 different tradelines both for DOE, one of which had not updated since 2011, the other showing current updates. When I completed rehab, the tradelines that were being updated got removed in favor of my new entry from FedLoan showing current.
I also knew from prior research that somewhere around the 2011 timeframe, DOE did some restructuring on how they handled student loans, especially ones in default. I made an educated guess that the old tradelines not having been updated since 2011 were sort of zombies, and were actually superceded by the later DOE tradelines, and after rehab the new FedLoan tradelines. I made an educated guess that these could potentially get wiped out via dispute, saying the debt was sold to another lender (which is exactly what happened - DOE sold the debt to FedLoan earlier this year). And it worked for me. No guarantee it will work for others, but if you have negative tradelines from the DOE for a loan that has gone thru rehab, it might be worth a try. If the negative tradelines are another servicer such as Sallie Mae, it might not work, however!
