Nine public service employees are suing Navient, the student debt service provider, for providing misleading and inaccurate information. They allege that Navient engaged in predatory lending, more interested in turning a profit than finding them the best repayment plan.
My guest today is Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. ATF has been helping their members navigate the student loan industry. What they found is shocking.
For Randi, there is a legal and electoral path to find justice for student loan borrowers.
For listeners living in the USA, please make sure you vote tomorrow.
