Why Heather Jarvis Thinks the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is Really Asking For It
How are those private student loans working out for you? The United States government wants to know. I’m serious!
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced today that they want to know “more about how the private student loan market functions (or doesn’t), how and why you got a private loan, and how it is (or is not) working for you.”
Shut the front door.
Now it’s up to us to make sure the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau hears from a wide variety of perspectives. I’m quite sure the private student loan industry will submit comments about private student loans from their perspective. I plan to prepare and submit comments both as an individual with private student loan debt, and as an advocate for the interests of student loan borrowers.
Please submit your private student loan stories and suggestions too.
We’ve got 60 days after the official notice is published in the Federal Register to submit our comments to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (publication is expected this Friday, so that would make the deadline Tuesday, January 17, 2012).
