Those old accounts have been CLOSED, PAID FOR by Education Credit Management, they were the Garantor and the previous owner was NAVIENT. Now it's flip flopped, the owners are the US DEPT OF ED and the guarantor is NAVIENT. The Dept of ED is unclear. Back when the original loan was opened in 2002 there were missed payments, yes, to answer your question. It has now been hands off and the old version of the loan needs to be gone because in short the SAME LOAN is appearing twice on my report. One is just showing as closed, default, paid off, whatever it's now deemed, to tired to get up to look at my credit report. The other version is showing as the payments have been go to go for the passed 8mths. Now for the passed year and a half, all 11 of my active accounts have been paid on time and is where they need to be. My Utilization is at 27% and consistently dropping. My FICO's are 633, 634, and 642. Next year 5 of the 8 negatives are scheduled to fall off, 2 of those are the old student loans, 2 are collections, and 1 is a paid charge off.😣😣😒😒😖😖😖hhhhhh.......ok........ I'm just frustrated, I need to go to bed, I'll chat with y'all lata...
