Student loan relief sought by AG Healey

BOSTON – In an effort to help borrowers struggling to repay student debt, Attorney General Maura Healey on Tuesday announced a new student loan assistance unit and a crackdown on unlawful debt relief companies.
"These are so similar to some of the problems we saw and some of the practices we saw with the mortgage crisis," Healey said. "Families struggling to get by, servicers not doing their job, and scam artists stepping in to take advantage of vulnerable people."
