SUBJECT: Peak Processing Hotline

Dear Colleague:

As you know, the Loan Origination Center, operated by
EDS, provided a Customer Satisfaction Hotline for
schools to report occurrences of less than quality
customer service. Since May, when this service began,
the LOC has received eighty calls, with less than ten of
those calls being reports of poor customer service. We
are pleased to announce that the Hotline has not received
any calls since July 10th.

The Department and EDS wish to continue to provide
schools with an avenue to discuss critical issues with
EDS senior management at the LOC during our peak
processing period. Therefore, we are establishing a
permanent Hotline capability beginning
August 11, 1997. EFFECTIVE AUGUST 11, THE
HOTLINE NUMBER WILL CHANGE TO
1/888-618-9787. We encourage each school to continue
working with their assigned LOC customer service
representative on any technical or processing issue.
However, the new Year 4 Peak Processing Hotline will be
available if issues cannot be resolved to your satisfaction
with your customer service representative.

If you contact the Peak Processing Hotline, a designated
customer service representative will receive and
document each call, and an EDS senior manager will
return the call within 24 business hours. The Hotline will
be available between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
(central time), Monday through Friday (except Federal
holidays).

We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.


Sincerely,


Joe L. McCormick
Chair
Direct Loan Task Force
