being paid in full for 5 years? I had a Student Loan from college in 2002 and it was paid in full as of October of 2006. I recently checked my credit report and saw that it was still listed negative and outstanding giving my report a black eye. I contacted the institution to which they replied a month later apologizing and stating they'd notify the credit bureaus (which I believe should have been done in 2006 when the account was paid). In the meantime, my credit score suffered and I was left paying higher interest rates on purchases during the five year period including for my car and credit cards with low limits thus causing me to lose more money out of pocket over time. Anyone think I have a legitimate case?
