When do I start repaying after Chapter 7?

[moneytrouble]

I have been discharged. When do student loan companies start reporting to the credit bureaus? Do they report after Chapter 7? I noticed some people posted they are listed as paid, or zero balance. When do I need to start repaying? Should I wait for them to contact me? Thanks!

You should start paying as soon as you're discharged. Otherwise you may inadvertently pay late. I would contact the lender and let them know you are discharged and ask when your next payment is due.

I have never stopped paying, just seems simplier to keep paying the same amount, on the same day each month that I always have for 8 years.

I never stopped paying either, I kept paying through my ch7 as I didnt want to lose the low interest rate I had for being on time for so long...I had to make the payments manually as they stopped pulling from my acct during the filing though.
