Will a deferrment affect my score??

Hi everyone! I just had one of my student loans deferred cause I'm back in school, one was inelligible for whatever silly reason. No big deal, I can afford to pay them, but I was wondering what, if any, affect the deferrment would have on my credit score?

I posted this on student loans but I'm not getting any answers. Hopefully someone can help!

Re: Will a deferrment affect my score??

Deferment should not affect your scores.  During your deferral period, your loans should report "paid as agreed".  However, sometimes there is a time gap between the due date and the deferment start date that may result in a late.  Stay on top of this when your deferment is about to start and double check with your servicer to ensure that the dates do not conflict.

I used to post my scores here. However, I'm prone to motion sickness and the ups and downs were nauseating.
