Where are you getting your score from?
No late payments or negative reporting would only raise your score 16 points unless you had other accounts showing late. It's possible that your 16 points was solely from the late payments being a year out as going from 6 months to 12 months on a 30D/60D/90D late gives you back an average of 15 points:
I am curious to know if your loans showed up months later. Mine were also transferred and have yet to show up ! How long did it take?

When I switched from Mohela to FedLoan in January last year, Mohela reported my loan closed/transferred right away in January. The loan with FedLoan didn't show up on my reports until May, and I subscribe to monthly reports here at MyFico. So it was about 4 months for me.
Good news, they showed the original loan open date instead of the date of transfer, so that helped with AAoA. Also they reported original highest balance for the loan rather than just the balance at time of transfer, so that helped with Util.
