SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- VantageScore® has analyzed the credit score impact of the August 2023 end of federal student loan forbearance contained in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. The company's research indicates that a large percentage of nearly 40 million Americans who have not made payments on their federal student loans in the past three years will experience changes in their credit scores. Individuals who do not resume student loan payments will experience significant score declines, while those who resume payments will likely see their credit scores improve. The new Supreme Court decision rejecting the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness program means that many borrowers who were expecting a reduction or elimination of their student debt will now need to plan to resume their full payments.

Key Points: 
  • SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- VantageScore® has analyzed the credit score impact of the August 2023 end of federal student loan forbearance contained in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.
  • Individuals who do not resume student loan payments will experience significant credit score declines, per VantageScore.
  • VantageScore estimated the potential credit score impact of the end of student loan forbearance by analyzing anonymized consumer credit information from all three Nationwide Credit Reporting Agencies (NCRAs).
  • Between 34% to 76% of borrowers may miss their first required federal student loan payment, resulting in a decline in their credit score.
