Stradley Ronon secured a victory for a leading student loan servicer in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The plaintiff brought claims that the servicer violated the Federal Debt Collections Practice Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, based on generalized allegations that his loans were not valid. Judge Gerald Austin McHugh dismissed the case with prejudice, finding that the plaintiff alleged no facts to suggest that his loans were invalid, or that the loan documents were unenforceable.
