Removing a late payment

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have experience with getting a late payment forgiven with Cornerstone? I missed a payment on 4 of my student loans almost 2 years ago and it is killing my credit score. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you've been current for awhile you can reach out to their customer service and ask for a goodwill adjustment or retroactive forbearance.

Did you try calling them? I also have student loans that were transferred to Cornerstone. I fell behind back in 2016. Unfortunately it's split as 3 loans, so each reports as having late payments. They have since been paid off, but are still reporting late.

Trying to rebuild myself, so I sent my first GW letter to them last month with no success. I planned on sending another one and trying to call them and speak to someone next week. Just wondering if you tried and/or had any success.

Good luck!

I believe that Cornerstone is a servicer of federal student loans.

Provisions of the Higher Education Act mandate the reporting of delinquencies on certain types of federal loans, removing the discretion of good-will deletions.

You should first determine if your loan is a type that is covered by mandatory reporting under the Higher Education Act.
