An AER Loan is just like any other loan that a Soldier is responsible for repaying. So why is it not reflected in their credit report? Would this not help Soldiers establish or improve their credit scores?

I can see this really kicking people while they are already down. AER is designed to help Soldiers, especially by keeping them away from predatory lenders. This would be a step in the wrong direction.

But if it's always paid on time as it is wouldn't that help the Soldier?

I think we need to leave the question to the credit reporting to the AER and the credit reporting agencies. I am willing to think they have adequate reason for the path they take.

Remember, as shown in the comments, it could prove either good or bad to a lender.

Sometimes it is best to not change things.
