If you have a federal student loans and on your credit report, it shows late payments between March 2020 until May 2022, it is my understanding that late payments can not be reported due to the CARES ACT. If you do not know who your servicer is or how to contact them, contact the Department of Education through StudentAid.gov or call 800-433-3243.
Is the government doing anything to help with my student loans during the coronavirus outbreak?
The CARES Act, the sweeping stimulus legislation enacted in March, includes relief for student loan borrowers. Under the new law, no payments are required on federal student loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education between March 13, 2020 and May 1, 2022. In addition, the interest on these federal student loans will automatically drop to zero percent between March 13, 2020 and May 1, 2022. Private student loans, and federal student loans not owned by the Education Department, are not covered by the CARES Act.
