Student loan servicer changes: navient to aidvantage

Can I get some more confirmation that this change, the new account would backdate to the original opening date for my navient accounts? They're my 2 oldest accounts (2015) and it would be a terrible hit to have 2 new accounts with 0 age hit my credit report... if I have to ill pay them off before that happens because I'm looking to get a mortgage in the next 6-8 months and don't want that to appear on my CR. I was hoping to have them forgiveb but who knows what's gonna happen... it's only 5k so I can cover it easily if I have to.

You'll want to cut the politics out of your post before it gets reported.


But the answer is yes, your transferred loans will have the original open date, not a new one.

Is there anything to reference or personal experience? Just want to make 100% sure since my AAoA is only 3 years old and 2 new accs right now would destroy that haha...

It's the same debt and promissory note, just a different servicer.

Ah so that's how that works. I thought it was more like when a mortgage switches over because debt was bought or when a credit card servicer changes (one of my moms mortgages from.... I forget who got sold to bofa I believe? And it showed as a completely new account with the remaining balance due, but this was years ago)

This is the second time I've had my servicer switched. See my second post in this thread.

HI, I was wondering if it worked out for you or not. My loans have been sold and i too am considering a mortage and a new ava will really hurt at this point. Did they report as a new account or the same date as the orginal loan? Thanks a lot
