No. The repayment plan that you select is not reported to credit bureaus and has no effect on your credit
score. However, your loan will be identified on your credit report as a student loan, and your loan holder will
report the status of your loan (for example, whether you are repaying on time or are delinquent or in default)
and your monthly payment amount to credit reporting organizations. Regardless of the repayment plan you
choose, failure to make your student loan payments on time may negatively affect your credit score.
