Since my LES shows a "Debt Payment" amount, how do I determine if I still owe a balance on any debt?

Hello everyone,
I have had recurring "Debt Payment" amounts shown on my LES'. To my knowledge, I do not owe anything. I have also reached out to DFAS to which I got no response. Would anyone happen to know where I can go to see if I do have a balance or if this is normal?

Down in the bottom area of your LES, there will be all kinds of things written there. Included in this area is what your debt is for and what the remaining balance (if any) of that debt is

Is it roughly $31 or so? If so that is for your SGLV. I had the same issue a while back.

Have you talked with your UA, I would think they have a direct contact with DFAS or at least back in 2007 we did.

Your LES showing a "Debt Payment" amount indicates that a portion of your pay is being deducted to repay a debt. If you still owe a balance on any debt look for notes or codes on your LES associated with the debt. If you are still unsure, go to the Finance office on your installation (Army Military Pay Office (AMPO)); they can provide detailed information about the debt, including the remaining balance, interest rates (if applicable), and the timeline for repayment.

The "Debt Payment" amount on your LES likely refers to an ongoing automatic deduction to pay off a debt, but it doesn't necessarily confirm whether you've paid it off completely. Here's how to check:

1. Review your LES: Look for details about the debt being paid, like the creditor or loan type.
2. Contact the creditor directly: They can confirm your current balance and payment status.
3. Check your credit report: It should list your debts and their statuses (paid, open, etc.). You can access free credit reports from each bureau annually at [AnnualCreditReport.com].

Remember, the "Debt Payment" is just the ongoing payment, not a confirmation of a zero balance. It's crucial to confirm directly to avoid any https://www.hitpayapp.com/ surprises.
