The representative makes the referral and phrases something incorrectly. If the consumer misinterprets the information and later disputes the validity of a debt, a lawsuit will arise. Most of the time, if the expense is petty, a firm will pay out a demand without dispute. If the issue goes to court and is pursued, the conversation between the representative and the consumer will be reviewed and interpreted in favor of the consumer. As a result of common complacency issues, the government imposed regulations to reduce the frequency of claims.

The Department of Education in recent times has embraced a new system regarding student loans, bringing on board a customer-friendly policy. According to this new scheme, students will now have access to loans with easier and less complex repayment terms. This development will help them fast-track the repayment of their debts without hassles. The Department of Education also integrated an income-based repayment plan: a flexible approach geared at facilitating student finance in their most dire hour of need.
