Disputing Student Loan status

Gallager2014 — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 02:37:49 GMT

I had a student loan with Loan 2 Learn aka Educap. My co-signer filed for bankruptcy back in 2009. In 2012, the loan reported as "Responsibilty Terminated", 0 balance, and "OK". The loan disappeared from my report in 2015. It is now back on my report but reporting as a charge-off/collections. How can I dispute this? I have a paper copy of my credit reports from 2014.

To dispute anything on your credit report you would have to go through each of the three credit bureaus individually and file a dispute or claim, with documentation. Did you file bankruptcy as well, or just the co-signer?

Only the co-signer filed for bankruptcy. Currently the loan is only appearing on TU. What is the best method for disputing? Would the paper copies of my credit report help with the dispute process?

Never dispute accounts without paper reports. Using online reports fron monitoring sites means you may be missing important data that you can use to dispute inaccuracies.

Do your disputes in writing, as well.

It sounds as if you were paying yourt student loans until your co-signor filed bankruptcy. At thast time they were sent to a collector and someone should have notified you. What happened when you sent in your payment during bankruptcy of the co-signor?

It sounds as if you still owe the debt and nothing has changed. Whatever your co-sgnor did won't resolve either of you for the debt. They are only adding up and getting worse.
