Massachusetts can sue federal student loan servicer, judge rules

By Nate Raymond

BOSTON (Reuters) - Massachusetts' attorney general can move forward with a lawsuit alleging that one of the largest student loan servicers in the United States has engaged in practices that have undermined a federal debt forgiveness program, a state court judge has ruled.

Suffolk County Superior Court Judge Kenneth Salinger in a decision released on Thursday denied Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistant Agency's motion to dismiss Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey's lawsuit.

Healey, a Democrat, called the ruling "a victory for thousands of students and families in Massachusetts who have been victimized for too long by student loan servicers."

PHEAA declined to comment on the judge's ruling.
