I am planning to go to law school in the fall and want to stop paying my student loans to save up some money. Would getting a deferment/forbearance affect my credit and/or ability to get future student loans?

I was also interested in this question. I thought finding a tuition free scholarship would be easy, in fact it wasn’t. I wanna try to take a loan from my bank and i want to know how to do it correctly. Thanks.

I don’t see how it could; as long as the deferment has been approved by the lender, and I’m sure it has or you wouldn’t do it.
It will affect your credit in the long run, of course, because they won’t be paid off as soon. I would think your credit record would be better after the loans are paid off.
That might be a good question for a one of the three credit reporting companies.

Getting your current student loans deferred will not affect your credit score or your ability to get future student loans. As long as you have not been in default on a student loan you should be fine. Your credit score may not be affected, however, your debt to income ratio will be higher and they may affect your ability to get other types of loans. If you were looking at financing a house or a car in the near future, your deferments could come up as an obstacle.
