I received a notification from credit karma of a new account and was immediately suspicious, as I haven't applied for anything. I was shocked to see that the department of education had added a student loan account to my credit report and that it recently closed. I had a defaulted Nelnet student loan that Department of Education took over that was $3500 and in 2018. Those accounts are showing up negative but paid in 2020. This is an additional third account that I never took. I have found Dept. of Education difficult to work with. They refuse to report the Nelnet account they took over correctly and now this. Disputing hasn't worked in the past. Anyone else having issues with them?
did you pay off the defaulted loan or is it still in default?
have you filed a complaint here asking for accurate reporting?

I did pay it off. It reports as paid default with department of Education. I haven't used that link. I'll try that. I called and disputed with TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.
