Help! I have petitioned several times to Sallie Mae advocacy, there CEO (who didn't answer my emails) and the FA ombudsman and all are saying no. I just want to have late payments removed from when I was not aware that some of my loans were out of deferment. What can I do next?
Welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately, all you can do is keep trying. They're really not required to remove the lates.

If ANYONE has had success with this, I'd love to hear from them. I had the same situation. I had 3 loans and somehow 2 of them came out of deferment. I had moved and not updated my mailing address so I didnt catch wind of them until they hit 120 days late and were calling me. This happened in 2009 so they are definitely holding me back from my mid 700s+ scores. I mailed them letter after letter a few years ago and I got nowhere fast.
They are down to less than $1000 each now and have been current since the day I found out about the lates. But I would LOVE to get rid of these flags! They are really holding down my score.
How do I figure? Well I just had a Capital One account that went late to 120 days in 2006 finally fall off my report last month. My score shot up over 20 points when it fell.
anyone???
