Re: Sallie Mae SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AutumnC74 · ‎03-28-2012

I contacted Sallie Mae's Office of the Consumer Advocate about 45 days ago and as of today's phone call they told me the 90 day late will be removed when reporting occurs at the end of the month! That's a "KEY DEROGATORY" on my account and showing with all three bureaus within the last year so I'm hoping to see a decent improvement in scores across the board. Just want to say thanks to everyone who has put the information out there and want to say that the people at the Advocate's office are very good at what they do!

Any idea on what this may do to my scores?!?!?

A 90 day late seems to be a heavy derog and since it happened last year I'm guessing you'll get a bit of a boost, was this your only baddie? BTW congrats!!!

CONGRATS!! PLEASEEE tell me how you were able to get this taken care of! I have 2 Sallie Mae accounts reporting 3 late payments each...I called them & they didn't assist. I emailed them @ the customer advocate address as well...they have not responded yet. From what I've read, you should have a nice improvement in your score..keep us posted!

Can you PM me please...thanks in advance!

PERSISTENCE & PATIENCE ARE THE KEY!!

What did you say or how did you word it to get this taken off?

Booner72 · ‎05-24-2011

I talked to a sallie mae advocate,too, and she says because everything IS correctly reporting they can't get rid of it. There must have been something OP's advocate had to go on to remove it.
