Private and federal loan charged off and in collections

I have a few student loans and they are both in collections. The original loans were charge off to other companies that were charged off again. Now I want to begin a rehabilitation with my loans but do I contact my original loan , or the last company who is handling it. How do I get these negatives off my credit report, thanks for your help Smiley Wink

Welcome to the forums!

 

I would start by checking out the Student Loans forum, & seeing how other people got started.  They may have the same companies that you owe money to, which would be even more helpful to you!  Smiley Happy

 

I don't know how rehab works, but I would just start by contacting my original lender, & seeing what they say.

For the federal loan, I would check the National Student Loan Database. That'll tell you which agency is handing the defaulted loan now.

 

For the private loan, that could be trickier. I don't have any private loans, but there I'd probably start with the original lender.

First, see if they are WILLING to make arrangements with you.  They may just tell you that you're stuck working with the CA.
