Vaishali Rao Discusses COVID-19 Student Loan Servicing Challenges at ACI Consumer Finance Forum

Vaishali Rao will present "Student Loan Servicing Challenges in the COVID-19 Context and Beyond: Navigating New Constraints on Debt Collectors and Ensuring the Viability of the Industry" at the American Conference Institute's (ACI) 32nd Annual Advanced Forum on Consumer Finance Class Actions, Litigation & Government Enforcement Actions. ACI is hosting this Forum in a virtual format September 22 – 23, 2020.

During this program, the speakers will discuss student loan-related class actions and enforcement activity over the past year. Attendees will also learn about efforts by state legislatures around the country to grant state regulators oversight of student loan servicing entities and explore servicing challenges specific to private student loans, which are not subject to interest waivers or payment deferrals that apply to federal student loans under the CARES Act.
