This thread is a great wealth of info and I am glad to have found it. I am in the middle of rehabilitating my Direct Loans which are currently being serviced by CBE Group.

Hoping that I get a boost in score once the loans are rehabbed and picked up again by Direct Loans. I still have a big hill to climb with my credit due to the one-two punch of being unemployed last year and an uninsured cancer diagnosis last year but little by little as they say. Thankfully, this year has been much better-healthy and employed
