Student loan borrowers sued the U.S. Education Department on Thursday, alleging that debts canceled years ago remain on their credit reports and have caused financial harm.
The lawsuit claims the federal government continues reporting about $4.6 billion in student debt associated with roughly 300,000 borrowers whose loans should have been canceled. One borrower highlighted in reporting has $72,000 still listed on her credit report after the government discharged her loans because they were linked to a scam.
The borrowers are challenging the Trump administration’s handling of the credit reporting, according to CNBC and MarketWatch.
