Overseas & Underserved: Student Loan Servicing and the Cost to Our Men and Women in Uniform
We’ve received over 1,300 complaints from military borrowers related to the servicing or collection of student loans. Through our monitoring of complaints, the Bureau has continued to hear that inadequate student loan servicing causes substantial hardship for military families. Servicemembers continue to face setbacks when they seek to exercise military protections earned through their service.
Our report highlights the continued challenges faced by servicemembers when they contact their student loan servicers to invoke the military rights and protections they have earned.
