XXXX is reporting incorrect negative information to Experian. There was XXXX semester where I was out of school due to a military ordered relocation. I contacted XXXX months before the move to inform them of my upcoming semester absence from school. I was told that I would not have any required payments unless I took more than XXXX consecutive semester off from school. I promptly registered and attended the next semester of school, and I did not think there was any issue. Upon checking my credit report, I noticed that XXXX was reporting late payments for that period. I disputed the item and it came back as " valid ''. I contacted XXXX directly and was told to write a handwritten statement and mail it via USPS, which I did. XXXX sent a letter back that the negative credit information was valid and they would not remove it from the credit report. I again attempted to dispute the item with Experian and it was again found " valid. I do not feel this is in any way fair, I was told that I was not required to make payments for that period and did not receive any notification indicating otherwise. The representative I spoke with apparently had no idea what she was talking about, and should have placed me in a " deferment '' status, rather than telling me that I wouldnt owe any payments.
