A Late Payment is on My Credit Report Twice... Help?

Hi Everyone,

 

One of the CB's has my student loans reported twice.  I have 9 student loans, and they are all reported separate.  I had a few late payments back in 2006, so that's 9 dings on my credit report.  However, the student loan as since been sold to another bank.  The new bank, SallieMae, has reported all the the old payment history as theirs... and the old bank, GA Student Finance Commission, is still listed on my credit report with the exact same payment history.  So now I have 18 dings on my credit report instead of 9.  I'm being hit twice for the exact same late payment.  It's pulled my FICO score down 25 points.  Shouldn't the one late payment only be listed once, not twice?  How do I fix this?

 

Thanks
