President Trump signed an executive order on March 7 limiting eligibility for public service student loan forgiveness. Meanwhile, a study from VantageScore revealed that 9 million borrowers are currently behind on payments, representing over 40% of those with dues.
VantageScore chief economist Rikard Bandebo joins Wealth host Brad Smith to explain the potential impacts of these developments.
"Someone who has a high [credit] score, let’s say they have a VantageScore super prime score of like 800, they could see their score drop by as much as 129 points," Bandebo says.
"A credit score … takes a long time to build, but it can fall very quickly," he adds. "So a delinquency ā like a student loan delinquency ā will sit on the file for seven years. So it takes a long time to repair this."
