Complaint:
All of my credit reports are showing XXXX ( XXXX ) 90 or 120 day late payments in the month of XX/XX/2019 for my student loans with " XXXX/Dept of Ed '', however, my student loans were in Administrative Forbearance from XXXX XX/XX/2019 and General Forbearance XXXX XX/XX/2019. Administrative Forbearance is a period during which payments to federally held student loans have been automatically paused or suspended and interest rates set to 0 %. I have included a of a correspondence from XXXX XXXX ( the previous student loan servicer ), dated XX/XX/2019, approving the Administrative Forbearance from XXXX XX/XX/2019 and General Forbearance XXXX XX/XX/2019 - again showing the Administrative Forbearance was backdated during the time in question ( XX/XX/2019 ). Notably, the approval did not occur until XX/XX/2019, nonetheless, I was approved for backdated the Administrative Forbearance from XXXX XXXXThus, it is legal and factual impossibility to be in default or have late payments during the period my loan was approved for Administrative Forbearance from XXXX XX/XX/2019. I had to apply for Administrative Forbearance and my application took time to process, however, my application was ultimately approved on XX/XX/2019, which included a backdated Administrative Forbearance from XXXX XX/XX/2019. The credit reporting agencies have accepted the response form the creditor that payment was late because payment was made during the application for the Administrative Forbearance, however, the Administrative Forbearance was approved and served to backdate the forbearance during the application process, as clearly demonstrated by a correspondence from the creditor, which is attached, and no late/delinquent notices during the months of XX/XX/2019, when I would have been 30 days late, and again XX/XX/2019, when I would have been 60 days late. It can not be said that an Administrative Forbearance was not effective in XX/XX/2019 when all XXXX ( XXXX ) delinquencies occurred, by the very language of the correspondence received from the creditor. Thus, all credit reporting agencies have completely disregarded the evidence I have submitted clearly proving the Administrative Forbearance was backdated and effective during XX/XX/2019, while accepting the creditor 's factually deficient and legally incorrect statements that payment was " late '' in XX/XX/2019 during a time that I was provably in Administrative Forbearance. 

In sum, the twelve ( XXXX ) reports of 90 or 120 days late is not only inaccurate because I was on Administrative Forbearance, it is predatory as it has completely destroyed my credit, despite the proper approval for the Administrative Forbearance.
