Understanding my baddies

So I'm trying to understand which are considered "baddies" on my current report-  I see flags on most of TL, assuming that these are the actual "baddies"?  I'm just trying to understand better with the remarks- such as "Payment after charge off/collection"  vs  "120 days past due"  vs  "charged off as bad debt"  & their weight on my credit score.   I've been working really hard for the past 6 months & I've finally got my last TL deleted from Collections,  and I've tried the GW letter to N Carolina Education Assistance for deletion, but recently got denied.  Waiting on College Foundation for reply.  Anyways,  with my picture provided below,  I'm assuming that I have 24 baddies?  Since GW letter didn't work,  am I stuck w/ these baddies until 2016 (my TU report says they should be gone in 2016)?  Should I write them GW letters again?  I'm just puzzled, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Understanding my baddies

Anything that has a late payment is adverse.  A CO or collection and 90+ days lates are all major derogatories and have pretty much the same impact on your score.  They will hurt you for nearly the entire 7 years.

 

Paid COs or collections are also adverse and hurt as much as an unpaid one.

Re: Understanding my baddies

Thanks for the explanation.  Basically I'm stuck w/ 24 baddies until 2016, so I guess i'll be in the garden until then!

Re: Understanding my baddies

If they are paid send out good will letters.

 

If they are not paid and you can afford to pay a collection, ask for a pay for delete.

Re: Understanding my baddies

From what you see, 23 out of 24 are from student loan which went into default.  I've rehabbed & currently back on normal pay status...which means that they are being paid?  I've sent GW letters but denied from NC Educational Assist & waiting from College Foundation...i'll update when i get something back from them.

Re: Understanding my baddies

Hang in there. I've been in the same boat with defaulted loans from Sallie Mae later transferred to USA Funds... so I have 16 negatives. They have since been consolidated with a 3 year perfect payment history, so just waiting on them to drop 11/2013. If I would have found this forum sooner I would have done the GW thing, I’d keep trying with the time you have left. Good luck.
