            Re: Re:

            To tell the truth that is not really press. Still no one knows about this unless they are searching for it. Sallie Mae is using an age old strategy ....delay. This issue occured at a click of a button and should be corrected just as easily,...especially if as reported to many on this forum, they have direct communication with Equifax. It is very important that we continue to forward this information to any and everyone we know who may be affected, and any and everyone with some media influence. Sallie Mae has already benefitted from this mistake by strong arming people into changing their payment plan....but that doesn't have to be the end of it. The longer they take to correct this, the more likely that it will get sweeped under the rug. Our daily lives will again take over and while it may still seem an injustice it won't be the most pertinent one anymore. What's happening is not right and we are the few who know, and the few who can do something about it.

            My score is back up as well.  Big question, can this happen again?

            Re: *new error in Sallie Mae reporting*

            Leslie McFadden of Bankrate.com wrote about the Sallie Mae error and interviewed Sallie Mae spokespeople. They explain what happened and, more important, what they're going to do -- and what you should do about it. Here's the link: http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/college/20080514-sallie-mae-credit-score-a1.asp

            I pulled my score this morning, it is now back to where it was - no indication at all that it dropped 124 points last Friday.  Woohoo!
