The American Federation of Teachers has filed a federal lawsuit against MOHELA, accusing the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority of multiple illegal practices. These include unauthorized deductions from borrowers’ bank accounts, misleading information about paperwork deadlines, delays in processing loan relief applications, and other unlawful activities. AFT President Randi Weingarten criticized MOHELA for prioritizing profit over helping borrowers, claiming it has failed in its duties assigned by the federal government. MOHELA denies the allegations and emphasizes its commitment to supporting student loan borrowers, vowing to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
