By eliminating the effects of defaulted and delinquent loans, the U.S. Education Department wants to help borrowers "reenter repayment in good standing.".

Higher education experts say delinquencies start to appear on credit reports after three months, though defaulted loans may take up to a year.

Officials say delinquent accounts will reflect current status automatically.

According to CNBC, wage garnishment and collections will also end.

Student loan repayments should resume in September, though experts say another extension could be possible.

If borrowers experience difficulty repaying their student loans, officials say to apply for economic hardship or unemployment deferment.
