So here is my situation.....

I had one student loan for $1,000 roughly and didn't pay on time. I then recently (08/2011) decided to call into DOE and see what I could do. The lady told me that I was just a few days of going to a collection agency. She said I called in at the right time and that she could pull the loan back to DOE and I could setup installments, so I did. I made one installment payment and then I paid the rest in full. Does anything happen once it has been paid? I have heard that they possibly will report it being positive. What is weird is that I had two entries on my credit report. I have attached 2 photos of my credit report from my USAA credit monitoring service which show the status of my account.

I called back into DOE around 2 months ago and the guy told me that the loan wasn't handled correctly and he had fixed it and to allow a month to fix itself. I would really like to either see this account deleted or show positive.

Your loan was defaulted. You paid a collection account. It will not report positive nor will it be deleted.

I have a somewhat similar problem.

Don't you appreciate the encouraging response?

You want me to sugar coat my answers?? Aint gonna happen. This is the reality of defaulted student loans.

Defaulted or not, the OC/SL lender has to abide by the FCRA and report accurately.

You seem to ignore this (from what I notice) when people complain about inaccurate reporting.

Do you enjoy telling people they are f-ed? Seriously...

So is there anything that I can do to help this?

Student Loans is not my forte.....I will be applying in the future for a student loan....is this going to hurt me when applying in the future?

Both of the credit reports the op posted were prior to the dates he paid. Thus there would be no inaccurate reporting. Most people do not know how to read/interpret a student loan reporting, especially with mulitple lenders/guarantors. My training comes directly from the DOE when I was collecting for them. Any opinions I express are from my training from the DOE and multiple FFELP lenders.

So..... Is the second photo I originally posted from the same company as the first photo? They both have different account numbers and different addresses.
