Email sent to Joanna Darcus at the National Consumer Law Center on 8-21-2017 in response to comments received for 60 day comment period for Docket ID ED-2017-ICCD-0005.
Hi Joanna,
Thank you for NCLC's comments to our proposed forgery discharge form. We considered your comments any accepted many of them. In particular, we:
Added a direction to a phone number or NSLDS information so that applicants can get information about the loans that are associated with their name.
Rephrased the question about personal information being used without permission.
Added "don't know" options where appropriate.
Provided applicants the ability to explain the absence of specific documentation, such as a police report.
Ensured that all references to a "wet" signature use the phrase "in ink" instead of "by hand" (since some digital signatures are made by hand).
Eliminated the question about payments under protest entirely.
Rephrased the question about intention "take" the loans to be clearer.
Eliminated a few redundant questions.
Given that we did some of our own re-organizing, we did chose not to use your suggested reorganization at this time, but will consider it more fully during the 30-day comment period, as we will consider eliminating skip logic.
Attached, please find a copy of the form as it will enter the 30-day comment period.
Thank you,
Ian Foss
