Some very brief background on the student loan programs:
• SLSA opposes S129 and H2173
• Federal Loans are already extensively regulated.
• Most federal loan borrowers are successfully repaying their student loans.
• The current Department of Education compensation structure encourages servicers to do the right thing.

Senate Information Hearing on “The Changing Face of Student Loan Servicing in California”
There is approximately $1.4 trillion in outstanding student loans ($1.3 trillion federal loans). More than $1 trillion (and the fastest growing piece) is made up of loans that are made and/or held by the U.S. Department of Education. I will therefore focus on federal loans in my testimony today.
