Wow, a stern chiding ... let’s hope they don’t need to escalate to using capitalization and bolding in a terse warning letter.

Why isn’t the person responsible losing their job?

Everyone involved was incompetent and should be fired. The people who planned this should be up on criminal charges. The Department of Education shouldn't even exist in the first place, let alone be given law enforcement privileges.

The article implies that the woman was supposed to be raided for defaulting on student loans - that isn't accurate. She was supposed to be raided on suspicion of running a student loan fraud ring.

"the department did issue the search warrant at Wright's home."
and here I thought an actual judge had to sign off on a warrant....silly me

This organization is getting as bad as the IRS. Recently, they have been hounding my elderly mother over Student Loan that my stepsisters husband took out back in the 1990’s. I guess he had used my mom as a reference or contact back when he had taken out the loans, only one problem, he died of lung cancer a couple years ago. She has told them multiple times that he is deceased and that she has no knowledge about his estate, but they keep calling and sending her letters wanting her to prove he is dead by sending a copy of the death certificates and probate papers. She is too polite to just tell them to, “Go to Hell and not bug her anymore.” which is what I would have done after the first call.

Student loans used to be mostly issued by private banks and loan companies, and insured by the government.

It was Obama who federalized ALL of the loans. Could this be one of his reasons? So he could break down almost any door in the country, since almost every family has an outstanding education loan at this point?

Even if someone isn’t behind on his payments, they can order a little bureaucratic “mistake.”

Control, control, control.

Wow. This makes me all the more thrilled that I went thru pre-paid tuition program in my state. My kids will not have student loans, should be able to graduate without SL debt. Therefore the Feds will need some other pretext to knock down their doors and/or mine. Maybe this posting will provide them that pretext?
