Has anyone ever been interviewed before the closing date of a job on USAJOBS? Or does the hiring always start at every federal agency only once the announcement is closed?

In my experience, they don’t even look at the applicants until the announcement closes. So decisions about who to interview are also made after that time. However, I have seen some positions on USA jobs where the application period is 6-12 months. In those cases maybe I imagine they might look at applicants on a rolling basis, but I’m honestly not sure.

Depends. A lot of agencies use ongoing postings because otherwise HR takes forever. In those cases they generally do interviews once they've gotten 10-50 packages

Yes. I had interviews with several agencies before job postings closed. In part because I think they were hiring a number of folks so kept the posting(s) up.

In doing so, I informed the gym I would be leaving. However, I recently checked my credit and saw that my membership had not been cancelled and had been sent to collections (prompting an inquiry and dropping my score).

Has anyone experienced this, and is aware of next steps to take here?
