Consumer Narrative

I had the chance to go over my payment history letter sent from The Department of Education/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and it doesnt show a history of late payments on record. My sole purpose in requesting my payment history on my student loans is because I have 9 late payments on my credit reports from XXXX. All late payments listed on my credit reports are dated as follows : 90 Days Late in XXXX XXXX 90 Days Late in XXXX XXXX 120 Days Late in XXXX XXXX 120 Days Late in XXXX XXXX 120 Days Late in XXXX XXXX 120 Days Late in XXXX XXXX 120 Days Late in XXXX XXXX 120 Days Late in XX/XX/XXXX Between XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX, my student loans were in FORBEARANCE, so I am not understanding why I have late payments shown in XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX on all three of my credit reports. The screenshot attached to this complaint shows that my loans were in FORBEARANCE between XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. THERE SHOULD NOT BE LATE PAYMENTS LISTED ON MY CREDIT REPORTS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THIS IS INACCURATE AND IT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO POSITIVE PAYMENTS OR DELETED IMMEDIATELY. My credit report also shows 90 days late in XX/XX/XXXX ; however, my loans were in FORBEARANCE from XX/XX/XXXX, through XX/XX/XXXX, as shown in the attachments to this complaint. If you are not familiar with the term FORBEARANCE it is an option to delay student loan payments in case you are temporarily unable to make your monthly payments. While in FORBEARANCE, your loans will continue to accrue interest. That interest capitalizes or gets added to your balance when your loans switch out of forbearance and back into your payment plan. Attached to this complaint is an Experian screenshot of the late payments from The Department of Education/XXXX This is unacceptable. I have been suffering from this negative payment history for years and each and every time I disputed these negative payments I am told by XXXX, Experian, XXXX and XXXXXXXXn that the information is correct, therefore my rights as a litigious consumer have been violated. Since I had to do my own investigation and clearly proved that I DO NOT HAVE LATE PAYMENTS, I respectfully ask that ALL LATE PAYMENTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONXXXX EITHER BE UPDATE TO POSITIVE PAYMENT HISTORY OR BE REMOVED FROM ALL 3 ( THREE ) CREDIT BUREAUS IMMEDIATELY. I have attached the full payment history email sent to me from THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION/XXXX within this complaint so you can see for yourself that I NEVER had a late payment.
