Hi:
I hope someone out there can give me an answer for this.
Â
I have several student loans that are deferred. BUT, they are being listed as “pay as agreed” on my report. Â When I pull my Equifax and Experian reports I have 50,000 dollars of installment loans listed. Â These are my student loans. Â With the current status being listed as pay as agreed, they are being calculated into my score which brings it to a beautiful 552EQ, and 600EX, 660TU, and listing my DTI as 56%. Â My actual DTI is 22%, and I have a perfect payment history for 7 years, with only 2@1 time late back in 2004-2005. Â I also had a great mix of credit as well with a paid mortgage included. Â These student loans are killing my score. Â I have contacted EQ and EX, they said to contact the student loan carriers, which I did. Both AES and Wachovia sent me a letter stating the accounts are deferred and being reported as such. Â I sent this to EQ and EX, so they placed a note in the comment section stating the account was deferred but still list the status as pay as agreed. Â I do have high usage on my accounts at 80% but I don’t believe that is the reason for my ridiculous score. Â EQ and EX will not change the listing on my student loans. Â I try to get a loan even for 2G and they claim my DTI is too high. The loan companies never get past the report summary and score to really see what is there. Â They just see a DTI of 56%. Â Any suggestions…
