Clean Slate through Rehabilitation Act

The Clean Slate through Rehabilitation Act amends the Higher Education Act to change how defaulted federal student loans impact borrowers' credit histories. Specifically, it revises a provision to require the removal of *any* adverse credit information related to a defaulted loan - not just the default record itself - from a borrower's credit history. This change directly affects federal student loan borrowers who have defaulted and are rehabilitating their loans, as it would clear broader negative credit items that hinder credit rebuilding. The policy shift aims to improve credit outcomes for these borrowers by removing more types of adverse information tied to their loans.
