Student Loans / questions

Applying for a mortgage // my student loan balances are reporting higher than the high credits  being reported.  SallieMae refuses to correct.  These loans are deferred.  Is this hurting my score?  A second reason code, being reported is "Proportion of Loan Balances to Loan Amounts is Too High.

Re: Student Loans / questions

if your student loans are unsubsidized, & are accruing interest, then the balances are probably correct, regardless of whether they are in deferment or not.  for unsubsidized loans, the interest accrues no matter what.  for a while my loans were reporting that way as well, but i've gotten them down a little.

 

the other reason code is just complaining that it thinks you need to pay your installment loans down.  you will probably get that reason code for a long time, depending on how much you owe.  there's not much you can do about it if you are making normal monthly payments.  you'd have to pay a huge chunk off for that to go away.
