Who is Ascendium?
Ascendium Education Group, Inc., formerly Great Lakes Loan Servicing, is a non-profit student loan guarantor located in Madison, Wisconsin. You may see Ascendium listed on your credit report as a collections account. This can happen if you’ve defaulted on your student loans.
Ascendium Education Group Collections
Ascendium collections can hurt your credit score and remain on your credit report for up to 7 years regardless of whether you pay it or not. Unfortunately, paying the collection could even lower your credit score.
However, it is possible to have it removed before 7 years and you may not even have to pay it.
(Debt collectors prefer that we didn’t tell you this, but it’s something you should know.)
Lexington Law is a credit repair company that helps people fix their credit. You may not even have to pay any of the debts on your credit report.
In addition to collections, Lexington Law will help you challenge (and possibly remove) other inaccurate information from your credit report. These items include inquiries, late payments, charge offs, foreclosures, repossessions, judgments, tax liens, and bankruptcies.
