I consolidated default student loans into one payment. My credit report is showing the consolidated loan plus the original loans. Now it appears that I have double the amount of debt. I can't get a loan because creditors are saying that my debt to income ratio is too high.

Check with your original lendors and make sure they closed out the accounts (and that your consolidation went through correctly) - that should reflect on your credit report. You can call the credit companies to find out how long it will take for that kind of update to show up.
If you can get a credit card that'll help - just put a little on it every month and make sure you pay off the balance.

You need to contact the credit department at the student loan place and have them erase the debt. I assume you paid them in full and are now paying a separate company for the loans. they should be able to do this quickly.

credit rankings run from 350 to 850. i've got been in lending approximately 10 years and that i think of the optimal score i've got seen is approximately 830. the backside i will endure in strategies is around 4 hundred. Your rankings are surprising. regardless of you're doing now, you're doing actual. in case you look at your credit rfile, you will see some "aspects" that impression your credit. a number of the look very contrived to me. particular varieties of credit are extra effective than others, with finance companies being in direction of the backside of the heap. maximum persons could be extra desirable than pleased with your rankings.

You might think this is a stupid question on my part BUT why don't you get in touch with the credit bureaus (all 3 of them) and ask them what you can do since you DON'T owe double??!!
If you don't do it, it will not go off your credit report by itself.
