As y’all see, I’m very confused by this and saw this particular problem was an issue with other folks on Reddit a month or two ago, but I’m not sure if it’s still happening to others. Let me fill you in.

    I’m having this problem where the StudentAid website says that I’m in default, yet I know for sure that my loans are deferred due to employment loss this past October and not in default. And my only lender on file, Aidvantage, says nothing is due with them, and I am current and squeaky clean until my payments resume in August of this year. Inquired with Aidvantage about this yesterday and got a digital letter from them that has physical proof of this as well. I have an IDR request sent to StudentAid on TOP of my deferment with Aidvantage since I’m continuing with school, so I KNOW I’m not behind on anything.

    My main concern is my school possibly not allowing me to collect the FAFSA payout with that default banner showing on the student aid website, even though it shows on my lender’s website that I’m in the clear and current. Financial Aid team at my school is slow to respond usually, so I figured I’d ask here where I’ve seen others get good advice. Was wondering if this red “Default status banner” message is still happening for others on their own profiles on the StudentAid website?

    Thanks so much!

    StudentAid website says that I’m in default, but my loan servicer says that I’m not?
