Student Loan Borrowers Sue Trump Administration Over Forgiven Debts Still On Credit Reports
Borrowers claim they suffered financial harm even though their loans were forgiven years ago.
A group of student loan borrowers sued the Education Department on Thursday, according to CNBC, claiming they suffered financial damages despite having their debts forgiven years earlier.
The lawsuit centers on forgiven loans that borrowers say have continued to affect their credit reports, allegedly causing ongoing financial harm even after the underlying debt was cleared.
CNBC's report frames the suit as a challenge to how the Trump administration has handled the record-keeping and reporting of forgiven student debt across major credit bureaus.
The report did not specify how many borrowers are part of the lawsuit or the exact damages being sought from the Education Department.
