Financial Problems 101 Credit Score vs. Student
Loans
3
  • Recent college graduates have a lot on their
    plate, and entering the job market isn't always
    an easy transition. In fact, many students are
    left wondering how their credit will be affected
    by student loans, and if their less-than-perfect
    payment habits will spell future financial
    problems. 
  • Although most students are given a 6 to 9 month
    grace period following graduation, the reality is
    that jobs don't grow on trees and students may be
    facing immediate financial problems, not
    financial problems later down the line. For those
    students able to pay up, they wont need to worry
    about a good credit score, but for those students
    that don't, or cant, they might be surprised to
    find that not every credit score- or rather
    bureau- will show the same student debt.

  • By law, institutions which fund student loans
    must report the disbursement date, the balance
    due, and the current status of the debt, but,
    they are not required to report it to all three.
    Students who dont check each bureau could be
    left unaware of their current financial problems
    or alternatively, only be made aware of these
    financial problems when they try to apply for
    credit later in life.
  • So, what are the best ways to tackle student
    loans and protect your credit?

5
Payback as fast as possible
  • If you have a large outstanding balance,
    improving credit is important and if you dont
    have financial problems preventing you from doing
    so, pay back as much as you can as fast as you
    can.

6
Don't ask for forbearance
  • If you are struggling with financial problems and
    cant afford your debts, try to negotiate an
    interest-only payment. Although your balance
    won't go down, it won't go up, and you will be
    able to limp through until you can begin
    improving credit.

Consolidate multiple loans
  • If you have more than one student loan,
    consolidate. You will pay less per payment and in
    the end it will make improving credit much easier
    for you.
