I received a letter that I had been overpaid by DFAS and I now owe $1000 and change after interest and late fees.
I have no idea what payment they are referring to. My credit report shows a debt in collections with the original account value being $872. This entry has tanked my credit score by 100 points.
I went through all my bank statements and the only deposit close to that amount was during my last month in active duty during which i received two deposits close to that amount. One of them was my travel pay during my ETS.
I have not been able to call to get more information yet but i dont even know what information to get or how to go about disputing this.
My biggest concern is my credit score as it is now dropped for 760+ to 660 ish. Of course, paying $1000 unexpectedly will put me in a really bad spot financially as well.
What are my options here and how do i even move forward?
