A service transfer does not change your loan terms or payment history. The previous servicer may report its account as transferred or closed, and the new servicer may begin reporting the loan under a new tradeline. Continue making payments as instructed during the transfer. Because credit scores are calculated by consumer reporting agencies and scoring companies, we cannot predict how a transfer may affect an individual credit score.

You might notice a small temporary dip in your score due to how credit reporting systems handle the transition (closing the old account and opening a new one). This is normal and your score should bounce back once the new loan is reported consistently.

Payments are generally due on the first day of each month. A grace period may apply before a late charge is assessed, but it does not change the contractual due date. If your payment remains unpaid long enough for the loan to become 30 or more days past due, the delinquency may be reported to the consumer reporting agencies.
