NewRez will implement enhanced monitoring, strengthen internal controls and continue working with regulators to ensure borrowers are protected.

DISB urges District borrowers to stay informed as new student loan news circulates online.

Here’s what you need to know:

• PSLF remains unchanged. If you’re pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness, continue certifying your qualifying employment at StudentAid.gov/pslf.
• Sweet v. McMahon settlement: This major borrower defense settlement provides targeted relief for borrowers who were misled by certain schools—not broad loan forgiveness.
• Beware of scams. No company can “speed up” or “guarantee” forgiveness. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Need help? Contact DISB’s Student Loan Ombudsman for support with PSLF, repayment options or identifying scams.

Did a payment app send you money from a person you’ve never heard of? Be careful—this could be a scam. Scammers sometimes use stolen credit cards to send you money. Then they ask you to “send it back.” If you do, the money you send could come out of your own account.

Remember:
- Don’t send the money back.
- Check your payment app and contact its support team.
- Don’t respond to the person who messaged you.

If you think it’s a scam, report it by filling out the complaint form at DISB.dc.gov/page/request-help-dealing-financial-institutions-form.
