Well after my divorce and getting remaried, two businesses and wanting to purchase a new home I figured I get a hold of this credit thing.

On regard to the Student Loans since my medical condition has gotten worse, I've applied for Permanent Disability thorugh the VA and should have a responce in less than 4 months. If 100% rating is given I will apply to get the student loans discharged without the 3 year waiting period.

Thanks to everyone who has helped along the way and the knowledge on this forum is Amazing!

Update***

I received a call from a Finance manager at Matco Tools and they offered to PFD I paid on the spot online, she confirmed and informed me she would send a letter with the PFD and the payment off. She said to wait 30-60 days before it falls off.

No news on the other GW letters.
