Subject: Loan Servicing Information - Second Quarter's Customer Service Performance Results
Note: In November 2015, we moved this announcement's attachments to the FSA Data Center. The attachments for the Quarter Ending 12/31/2014 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#12312014.
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 second quarter (ending December 31, 2014) 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 second quarter customer service performance results are as follows:
FedLoan Servicing (PHEAA)
Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, Inc.
Navient
Nelnet
- Not-For-Profit (NFP) Members of the Federal Loan Servicer Team
Aspire Resources Inc.
CornerStone
ESA/Edfinancial
Granite State – GSMR
MOHELA
OSLA
VSAC Federal Loans
We provide the customer service performance results in three attachments to this announcement.
