Question : How does student loan debt affect my credit score?
I am at the final stage of paying off credit card balances. Just one more month, yippee!!!! I've also already paid off my car loan 7 months before the maturation date. Anyway, I still have close to $50,000 in student loan debts- federal and private. But that's it. I have never had any major credit problems. Will all this student loan debt have a negative impact on my credit score and rating? I always make the payments on time every month.

You have the legal right to check your creditreport once a year, from each agency, for free. So you could just find out your credit score. Some people check each of the 3 credit scoreagencies every 4 months, giving them a regularpeek at how their credit is doing. Here is thelink --https://www.annualcreditreport.com/

As unfair as it seems, they do lower your scoreabit. I have a pretty good score, but my studentloans have affected it negatively alittle bit.When I asked about it, its because its such a longloan. Like, Sallie Mae gives you 10 years to payit off. Even though thats not bad because its inagreement with Sallie Mae & that is very normalfor a student loan, it counts as "too long to payoff a debt" on a credit score which I think iscrazy.
