Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan:
Collections Coordinator (Victoria Beeston)- Responsible for initiating contact with the borrower, providing documentation instructions, and reviewing completed forms.
Director of Student Accounts (Ti Jolly)- Responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations and reviewing the re-assignment documentation.
ECSI (Angela Johnson)- Responsible for updating financial records and confirming the reassignment of collection rights.
Condition:
Federal regulation 34 CFR 674.19(e) and 34 CFR 674.31 indicates that the institution is responsible for creating and maintaining the Master Promissory Note to indicated specifications. The university has found that the existing Master Promissory Note (MPN) or equivalent documentation that acknowledges the debt is either incorrect, incomplete, or missing.
Management’s Corrective Action Plan:
The following steps outline the corrective actions that will be taken to resolve this issue:
1. Contact the Borrower - Life University will initiate contact with the borrower to inform them of the need to update or establish a new MPN or equivalent documentation. This will be done via the following communication channels:
• Phone call (if available)
• Email notification
• Postal mail (if no response is received through other means)
2. Provide Clear Instructions for Documentation - The university will send a formal notice to the borrower detailing the need for a new MPN or equivalent documentation. This will include instructions on how to sign the new agreement, the importance of the MPN, and a clear explanation of the implications for the outstanding loan amount.
3. Reassign Collection Rights - Once the borrower has completed the required documentation, Life University will work with ECSI to reassign the university’s right to collect on the remaining balance.
4. Documentation Review and Verification - After the MPN is completed by the borrower, Life University will review the new MPN for completeness and accuracy. This review will ensure that the terms are correctly documented, that the borrower’s consent is properly obtained, and that the right to collect on the outstanding amount is clearly assigned.
5. Update Financial Records - Life University will update its financial records to reflect the new MPN and the re-assigned collection rights. The university will also ensure that any outstanding amounts and repayment schedules are updated accordingly.
6. Ongoing Communication and Monitoring - The university will maintain communication with the borrower throughout the process, providing reminders if necessary.
Verification of Effectiveness:
Upon completion of the corrective actions, the university will verify that:
• The borrower has submitted the new MPN or equivalent documentation.
• The collection rights have been successfully reassigned.
• Financial records have been updated accurately.
The university will conduct a follow-up review in February 2025 to verify the effectiveness of the corrective action plan and to ensure that no further issues remain.
