How does student loan debt affect my credit score?

Question by Fly girl: How does student loan debt affect my credit score?
I am at the final stage of paying off credit card balances. Just one more month, yippee!!!! I’ve also already paid off my car loan 7 months before the maturation date. Anyway, I still have close to $ 50,000 in student loan debts- federal and private. But that’s it. I have never had any major credit problems. Will all this student loan debt have a negative impact on my credit score and rating?
I always make the payments on time every month.

Question by li.sharks: Can I file a student loan interest deduction if I was not a student during the tax year?
I took out student loans in 2002 for which I am still paying. I paid $ 682 in interest in tax year 2009. I read that you have to be a student for the deduction. I was not a student during tax year 2009 however I was obviously a student when I took the loans out. Do I qualify for this deduction?
