Fee misreported as "Student Loan"

    When I graduated from College I left with some library fines and a parking ticket. This totaled $170. I eventually paid it that summer after graduating, but they reported it 60/90 days late as a "Student Loan". (This all took place in the summer of 2001)

    Furthermore, once I paid it (it shows 0 balance), it is reported as "Currently 90 days past due".

    Does this make it look like I'm still past due? My credit scores are tanked cause of this, 560 exp. (I also have 3 30 day lates on credit cards, all over a year old).

    I tried to get the school to get rid of it, but they refused. Also, when I asked them to delete it, they pulled a hard inquiry on my credit reports. What should I do?

    I'm new to this board though I've been lurking for about 4-5 months from time time.

    Dispute as never had a $170 student loan
    Send them a check for$0.oo
    Sure does.You hain't pad the $0.00 yet
    Perhaps they would rather delete it instead of paying you $1000 for this violation.

    When I told the College that I intended to dispute it because it was wrong, they said they would confirm it but change the description. That's not really good enough for me.

    Your best bet would be to sue them for the non-PP inquiry. Use that to leverage your deletion.

    I also had a federal perkins "Real" student loan with them. Does that give them a PP to do an AR?

    If the "REAL" student loan WAS paid at the time...NO PP
