    Hello, I am new to this site, I have been trying to rebuild and fix my credit for about 1 month. I filled BK in 2003. I have a school loan that just went onto my credit report last month, I got behind when going thru a messy divorce and I could not afford to pay, they didn't care and would not take anything but the full balence due, of 1800.00. Now they have sent it to a CA, I tried to apply for a mortgage loan and got denied because of this loan being sent to CA, they said to call the Original creditor and ask them to reastablish the loan, I called and they said no right away, that they can't do that. I don't know what to do now.

    There is a way to "rehabilitate" the loan. Meaning if you make 12 on time payments over 12 months, they will reinstate the good standing of the loan. Student Loans are non-dischargeable in any bankruptcy proceeding unless you can prove extreme undue hardship. Try the Ombudsman in your state for the "rehabilitation" procedures.

    Thanks for your reply, So do I just start sending the payment to them, even though they say they can't do this, do I send in the same amount that I had to pay before?

    I never "rehabbed" my defaulted SL's. I just consolidated them. So I'm not a good one to ask. Sorry.
