Subject: Loan Servicing Information - First Quarter's Customer Service Performance Results (Updated April 19, 2013)
Note: In November 2015, we moved this announcement’s attachments to the FSA Data Center. The attachments for the Quarter Ending 9/30/2012 are now located on the Servicer Performance Metrics and Allocations page at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/about/data-center/business-info/contracts/loan-servicing/servicer-performance#09302012.
Note: On April 19, 2013, we updated this announcement by replacing the attachment titled "Quarterly Customer Service Performance Results for Not-For-Profit (NFP) Members of the Federal Loan Servicer Team – Quarter Ending September 30, 2012." The replacement file includes the corrected result for MOHELA's Resolution of Borrowers Delinquent > 180 Days.
Per the contractual agreement with each of our federal loan servicers, the Department of Education (the Department) will annually measure servicer performance in the areas of customer satisfaction and default prevention. We will then use these results to determine each servicer's allocation of future loan volume when applicable.
This announcement is intended to share the customer service performance results for the first quarter (ending September 30, 2012) with the financial aid community. The Department measured customer satisfaction with each of the federal loan servicers exclusively through independently administered customer satisfaction surveys. We assessed default prevention through analysis of each servicer's portfolio.
The federal loan servicers with third quarter customer service performance results are as follows:
FedLoan Servicing (PHEAA)
Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc.
Nelnet
Sallie Mae
Not-For-Profit (NFP) Members of the Federal Loan Servicer Team
Aspire Resources Inc.
CornerStone
ESA/Edfinancial
Granite State - GSMR
MOHELA
We provide the customer service performance results in three attachments to this announcement.
In the attachment titled "Explanation of Customer Service Performance Measure Methodology," we provide an explanation of the overall performance measure methodology.
In the attachment titled "Quarterly Customer Service Performance Results for FedLoan Servicing (PHEAA), Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc., Nelnet, and Sallie Mae – Quarter Ending September 30, 2012," we provide the first quarter's customer satisfaction and default prevention results for these four servicers.
