I am a XXXX percent XXXX Veteran who applied for the student loan forgiveness/discharge program. I got a letter in XXXX 2011 from the XXXX, stating that my request to receive the forgiveness/discharge was approved. I later receive a letter from XXXX that the request was approved. I was refunded of the amount I paid on the student loan on XXXX XXXX, 2011. 
Months later I looked at my credit report and see that the loan was reported as being late 120 day by Equfax. Based on my understanding, under the Federal Law, a veteran who seeks federal student loan forgiveness if they receive a XXXX % XXXX rating by the Department of Veterans Affairs should not be penalized with bad credit. Since I received a discharge based on VA documentation of my XXXX, my credit report should show that I no longer owe the loan, not that it was " assigned to government '' for monitoring.
