NF was notified and he was informed that account would freeze and no payments would be due for 90 days. Well, a 30 day late came up on his credit report and after messaging them through their message center, we received a generic response stating that they can't remove accurate reporting.. so frustrating. We have written notice stating that his payments were suspended for 90 days. Can someone help me?
I'm sorry you and your son are having to deal with this. 
I'm assuming you have a POA for your son? If so, you should consider calling the number on the written notice you received that said the payments were suspended. Secure messaging is great for some things, but this is likely going to require a phone call.
I handled banking for one of my brothers years ago when he was deployed, so I understand the frustration you're experiencing.
@Sadie5150 wrote:@UncleB thank you for your advice. I was finally able to get through to an actual supervisor that looked at the account and see that the reporting was incorrect. She assured me this would be handled and an update would be sent to credit bureaus. I'm hoping this will be the end of it. She did email me a short verification of conversation, but only after I insisted I have something in writing of conversation details. Should I dispute the late and send the email as documentation? Or wait and see if NFCU follows through with their promise of correction?
I would wait a few weeks first to give them a chance to fix it.

I'm glad you were able to get to someone who could put "eyes" on the account and get things straightened out! 
NFCU has a really good record for doing what they promise. Since they are a military-centered organization and your issue is related to military benefits I feel really good that this will be cared for.
You will be able to directly contact the supervisor again if need be (and you also have the email) so if it were me I would give them a chance to take care of it. If you dispute it now, the credit bureau(s) will reach-out to NFCU which will then involve additional folks (and likely other departments) at NFCU possibly complicating matters. You still have that option as a "last resort," of course.

I went online to his Experian account and not only did the 30 day delete, they increased his credit limit by $5000... Equifax and TU remain derogatory, but I'm assuming they'll be updating with the same information soon.
This makes me so happy as it relieves a horrible stressor from my sons mind. He's just 21 and has worked so hard to build himself an excellent credit profile.
I'm honestly not sure why he even did this deferment in the first place. He only owes $900 on the account. He said he panicked a bit when he was told he was leaving and didn't know if he'd even have his phone to access his account for payments.. 🙄21 and learning.... lol
Good news, indeed! 
I'm glad to hear that it looks like NFCU is making things right, and I'm sure the updates on the other two bureaus are likely in the works as well.
Also, congrats to DS on the CLI! I know this has been stressful for you both, but hopefully the CLI at least helped make up for it (a little, anyway).
