Also, did you use Experian to check your credit report because I believe some people were saying that all companies weren't showing HRSA on theirs but Experian worked for them. I used Experian too.

Yes, stafford loans are federal student loans that are usually deffered when you are in school. I checked Experian through mid Aug and Transunion as of today and nothing. Khervey, are your loans recent or have then been deffered for awhile? Thanks!

Are they doing credit checks to look for deferred loans (like staffords) and if you have deferred loans is that a bad thing from their point of view?

No, they are looking for a default on a federal student loan. That you took one out and never paid on it. Its part of the application process, and its listed somewhere in the student bulletin. You can have loans, you just need to be in good standing, whether they are in defferment or repayment. Thats all they are looking at, nothing else about your credit matters......

So now this question...to those that are locked out of the HRSA signin page now, did you get a credit check?

Did anyone NOT get a credit check but can still sign in, or DID get a credit check but is locked out now?

I did NOT get a credit check and can still sign in.....

I did get a credit check and I can still sign in

I have a possible solution to why everyone credit was not checked. My thinking is that they randomly checked credit.Maybe every 3rd application...etc. That's what many organizations do because it's cost effective. It does not make much sense that the people who's credit was checked are the only ones in the running when they JUST started doing rankings and many people who have not had their credit checked are in the first funding preference.

By the way I had my credit checked and I can still log in.

One other thing. Would anyone that is unable to log in be willing to call in to hrsa and ask why they have been locked out of their account?

I had my credit checked and I can still log in.

no credit check, can still log in.

OK on the Credit check did anyone get A bunch of letters with Hrsa and then another credit check with the same bunch of letters... i think i have been checked twice.... once on august 7th and another on august 18th
