Student Loans problems...

Hello all,

 

I have been lurking on here for almost two years.  I respond to some post, but I mostly read them and have been trying to digest all the knowledge in these forums.  I am trying to clean my credit up so I can purchase a home.  My boyfriend and I have had to put this off for the last two years b/c I cannot qualify.  I have 13 baddies on my Transunion and 9 on my Equifax.  Today I sent in several disputes on both reports.  Now as I sit at work my nerves are COMPLETELY SHOT!  Most of the baddies are student loans that were supposed to re-age after I got out of the rehabilitation programs.  I was told that by law they only have to send the information to the credit bureau’s once.  If it doesn’t update they are not going to resend.  So, I disputed them today saying I have never been late/or the account does belong to me. Should I GW the CA/OC to have them remove the lates and collection account status?

 

Thanks for your help “stressed about fixing my credit problems” L

 

The student loans companies are:

 

US Dept of Ed

Send GWs. if paid off and/or GWs on current OC accounts (like a rehabbed SL). I recommend waiting for the dispute to clear first though.
