Default Curious about Student Federal Loans

So I go to school and have a student federal loan. I am still in school so the loan is deferred. I have to start paying it back once I finish school.

I wanted so start paying off the loan so it can help my credit score. The loan company who holds my federal school loan told me I can't get out of deferment unless I finish school or stop taking classes. IS there any way I can get them to report to the CRA that I started paying on the loan?

Thanks!

It should be on your CR as a loan but marked as " in deferment"

Yes, that is correct. But doesn't that hurt my credit score just sitting there?

And it will help your score to start paying it off now as there will be a smaller "balance owed" than "original balance". It shows payment, even if not required.
