Protect Borrowers / Student Borrower Protection Center

nonprofit student-loan borrower advocacy organization

Protect Borrowers / Student Borrower Protection Center

Industry Watchdogs

A nonprofit advocacy, research, and litigation-strategy organization focused on protecting student-loan borrowers and challenging abusive debt practices. Protect Borrowers scores well because it gives borrowers public-interest leverage against servicers, lenders, and policy failures.

Why this matters: This is a strong counterweight to student-loan servicing power, even though it is advocacy rather than direct loan administration.
