Trump's student-loan expert said he was 'not aware' of a repayment glitch in a lawsuit to restore affordable bills
An expert at the Education Department corrected a legal filing because an error in the National Student Loan Data Service reported some student-loan borrowers' income incorrectly as $0. This mistake is tied to an ongoing case where borrowers are attempting to restore benefits like REPAYE and pause involuntary transfers off the SAVE plan. Outside of this lawsuit, borrowers have also reported various glitches with their payments since July 1.
