Introduction

It is important to periodically check the status of your loan to ensure that you are on track to repayment. There are a few ways to do this, including online, by phone, or by mail.

The best way to check the status of your loan is by logging into your account on the lender’s website. If you have an account with multiple lenders, you will need to log into each one separately. Once you are logged in, you should be able to see all of the relevant information about your loan, including the balance, interest rate, and repayment terms.

If you cannot remember your login information or if you prefer to speak with someone directly, you can always call your lender’s customer service number. Be prepared with your loan number and some personal information so that they can pull up your account. Once they have located your loan, they will be able to give you all of the same information that you would be able to see online.

Lastly, if you do not have access to a computer or a phone, you can always send a written request for information about your loan status through the mail. Be sure to include your name, address, phone number, and loan number so that they can easily locate your account and get back to you with the requested information.

What is a Loan Status?

Your loan status is the stage of your loan application. It can be “in progress”, “approved”, or “denied”. The status of your loan application can be checked online, by phone, or in person.

When you check your loan status, you’ll need to provide your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and the type of loan you applied for.

How to Check Your Loan Status

You can check your loan status by logging into your account on the lender’s website. After logging in, you should be able to see your loan balance, make payments, and see your payment history. You can also check your loan status by calling the customer service number for your lender.

Online

Assuming you applied for your loan online, the best way to check your loan status is to log in to your account. After logging in, you should be able to see the status of your application as well as any other pertinent information regarding your loan. If you applied for your loan through another method, please refer to the instructions provided to you at the time of application.

By Phone

Call your loan servicer to check on the status of your application. You should have received contact information for your loan servicer in your financial aid award letter.

When you call, be prepared to provide your full name, date of birth, Social Security number and the type of loan you applied for.

In Person

The easiest way to check on the status of your loan is to visit your local Social Security office. You can use the office locator on the Social Security website to find the address, directions, and phone number of your local office. You will need to bring your Social Security card and a photo ID with you when you go.

You can also call the Social Security Administration’s national toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to check on the status of your loan. When you call, you will need to provide your Social Security number, date of birth, and other personal information so that we can verify your identity.

There are a few different ways to check your loan status:

-Log in to your account on the student loan servicer’s website. This is the best way to get an up-to-date snapshot of where you stand.
-Request a current loan statement from your servicer. This will give you detailed information about your loans, including how much you owe and what your interest rate is.
-Check your credit report. Your credit report will show all of the loans that are in your name, along with information about whether or not you’re current on your payments. You can get a free copy of your credit report from each of the major credit bureaus once per year.

If you find that you’re behind on your payments, don’t panic! There are options available to help you get back on track. You can contact your loan servicer to discuss repayment plans or deferment or forbearance options. Taking action quickly can help you avoid further damages to your financial health.
