I have a SL with direct loans in good standing (deferred). In 2004, I was late for 30 days and 60 days. In July, I sent them a GW asking for the lates to be removed. Within a week, I got a reply form letter that said they were unable to remove them because I had not included a copy of my credit reports.
So, I immediately followed up with a short letter thanking them and including the 1-page portion of my SL reporting from each of the 4 major bureaus. Never got a reply this time and nothing changed.
Today, I decided to assume they never got the letter. So I re-dated my original GW letter and attached the 1-page CR's again.
I'm sure its a long-shot, but is this likely to work? Anybody had success with GW with DL?
On a side note, why is there no legitimate way to "rehabilitate" a minor issue such as a old late payment. The only way to get a fresh start is to default on the loan and then rehab it? IMO, this should seriously be addressed if I'm understanding this correctly. /rant
