About this episode
The episode discusses the return of student loans to repayment mode and its impact on credit scores and loan approvals.
Student loans were in forbearance for several years but now, for most people with student loans, the expectation and requirement is to repay those loans with scheduled monthly payments. But approximately 24% of those with outstanding balances are not making payments! Yikes! This is wrecking havoc on credit scores and profiles, not to mention potentially keeping people from getting approved for auto or home loans. If you are one of the MILLIONS of people with student loans now back in repayment, listen in to the details. Questions@CreditKristi.com
