Credit problems

[$$only4ever]

How were you able to dispute it and win? I disputed it with all 3 credit reporting agencies but they all came back that SallieMae was reporting it as involved in bankruptcy. I've contacted SallieMae several times and they won't even talk to me. I try to tell them the situation and all they say is that it doesn't matter WHO filed the bankruptcy, just that the account itself is involved. They wouldn't hardly give me the time of day.

So now, thanks to myfaircredit.com, I found a lawyer that is willing to take my case, even though he is in Washington and I am in Missouri. He said there is a SallieMae branch there that he has sued before for the same thing. They are very bad with reporting. Apparently companies used to not be able to separate different borrowers on a loan. But in 1997 that was supposed to be changed to where they can separate me and my mom's credit. Well SallieMae hasn't stopped reporting incorrectly. So my lawyer is filing a suit against them and he said he's hoping to get it removed from my credit, have his fees paid for, and $2000 in damages to me. I'm thankful to finally have somebody paying attention to me, and hopefully this will get taken care of soon so I can move on with my life.

I contacted Sallie Mae's Customer Advocate Unit (they all speak English, by the way) and raised holy you know what. I gave them a choice, they could either correct the incorrect reporting or I would get my attorney involved. They corrected the reporting.
They were wrong and knew it.

I found the main phone number for Sallie Mae and asked to speak to their Executive Complaint Department. They transferred me to their Customer Adovcate Unit. Again, the reporting is incorrect and yes, they do have to fix it.
