⚠️ Caution: Log in to your student loan servicer portals monthly to ensure a billing statement has not been generated with an upcoming, unexpected due date!
✅ Yes, the payment suspension was extended to August 2022, but you still need to monitor your portals.
We have encountered many student loan borrowers who were not regularly monitoring their student loan portals during this payment suspension period, thinking there’s nothing to monitor until the payment suspension ends…… 😓
Unfortunately, for some, payments came due during the suspension (ex: IDR plan ended and they needed to recertify or a host of other reasons) and they didn’t realize this until a LATE PAYMENT hit their report. 😕😓which drastically hurts your score.
‼️Please also keep in mind that student loan servicers only report late payments after 120 days of delinquency.
So imagine relaxing, living your best life not thinking about your federal student loans because Joe Biden extended the date again & BOOM 💥 LATE PAYMENT!
👉🏾 Login to studentaid.gov and/or your student loan service portals (ex: aidvantage, Navient) to make sure your next due date isn’t next month!
👉🏾 And if it is, call them to work out an arrangement, get on an income driven repayment plan, deferment or forbearance. Explore ALL options if you are unable to make payments at this time.
