Kamala Harris is justifiably proud of her work in shutting down fraudulent for-profit Corinthian Colleges while California attorney general.
She helped secure full debt relief for defrauded students while vice president.
But the Biden-Harris administration has forgiven $167.3 billion in student debt for nearly five million borrowers.
MOHELA has been accused of ineptitude in its servicing practices.
MOHELA, a contractor for the Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid , is accused of failing to process the discharges of student loans from borrowers who matriculated at six different for-profit college networks.
The lawsuit was filed in superior court in Oakland , California , taking advantage of the state's Student Borrower Bill of Rights as well as Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
The saga suggests that the government is more interested in sending out press releases touting student debt forgiveness than paying attention to the implementation process of whether the forgiveness actually gets to borrowers.
The disconnect is especially debilitating in the context of the upcoming election, where this is one of the key parts of Harris 's record that she’s running on.
