Student loans showing current?!

[Anonymous]

My Student loans are showing current for the month of February I’ve missed 7 Payments. I called in February to apply for forbearance (which was approved). This caused my score on the Experian site to jump up 38 points. My question is Will it show a current status on the rest of my reports due to being in forbearance? Does anyone have experience with this any advice is welcomed!

Hi!

Not sure who your servicer is, but, when my SLs were in forbearance, it showed "Pays As Agreed"; however, instead of showing "OK" in the monthly column, it showed nothing. When it came out of forbearance, and I started paying, it went back to normal. Also, when I started paying again, my score rose. I'm not sure what type of forbearance you have, but, after Hurricane Irma, there was also a note that said something like "Affected by Natural Disaster".

Hope this helps!

Forgot to ask...when you say you missed 7 payments, do you mean in a row...or, across 7 different SL accounts. Because when I missed a couple of payments, two years ago, even though they gave me an administrative forbearance, my accounts were marked 90 days late for the time I was late.

Yes I missed 7 Payments in a row on my NelNet loan. I didn’t know once you go into forbearance it will show a current status!

Yes...it's the period of time before the forbearance that may show the lates...in the case of an administrative forbearance, for example.
