Q. How long does take default loan taken off your credit report?

"If you have a default loan on your credit report..."

If you have a default loan on your credit report, it will stay there usually for seven years. There are a lot of companies that promise the removal from the credit report, if you pay them a fee, but most of them are just scams and the The Federal Trade Commission advices against this method as there are no successful cases. You can take the default out of you credit report in time, making some efforts in paying on schedule all your debts. Gabi_p

Q. I have a direct loan on my credit report that is currently in good standing. should i pay it off or ?
my student loan from direct loans (us dept. of ed) is currently on my credit report. it was in default and reported to a collections agency. i have since then paid off a settlement of making a number of payments to bring it out of default. so it is currently in good standings but it is still on my credit report. my questions are. should i just pay it off completely or continue to make payments on it? i am trying to take steps to improve my credit score but i was told that it is considered as an open line of credit. so an open line of credit is a good thing right? if i was to pay it off in full would it drop off my report since it's a "green" account? i am a little confused as to what do do with this. i do not want to do anything to further hurt my credit.

"The account will stay on your credit report for ~7 years after the last payment..."

The account will stay on your credit report for ~7 years after the last payment. A credit score is impacted by many different factors, so I'm not sure what advice to give about paying the whole loan.

Q. How long after attempting to clean up credit should i apply for a new student loan?
hi, here's the deal,i am about to pay off a defaulted loan with sallie mae. they have offered a settlement of $2800.00 from a student loan that was originally $5000. i have accepted the settlement and should have it paid off by the end of the month and have cleared up a few other small items on my credit report. i have letters that the debts have been satisfied and i should get one from the agency once this debt with sallie mae is paid. i plan to attend film school in november and have gotten government aid but i still need a private loan to cover the remaining costs of tuition. my question is, how long should i wait to apply for a new private student loan either with sallie mae or with a bank? as i said i have letters saying that all debts have been paid off, can i take these letters to the bank and will that improve my chances of getting the loan? i need about $10,000 to $15,000 to cover everything. please help! thanks for all responses.

"Especially since your settlement is so recent..."

Your likely not going to get a loan, especially since your settlement is so recent. Sallie Mae will FOR SURE not give you another loan, so don't even bother applying with them. If you filled out the FAFSA, Sallie Mae is one of the main lenders, so getting a federal loan is pretty much out of the question. Private loans are harder for students to get, so you are not likely to get that. Sorry for the bad news. The recent settlement is going to greatly impact you.

"Then call the company to remove the mark in your credit report..."

if you are not doing mayor transaction in the near future, and if you have the funds, I suggest you pay it off. then call the company to remove the mark in your credit report. Having a line of credit is good as long it is not use more than 30%
