To: Holders and Servicers Participating in the Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program

Subject: Assignment of Judgment on Defaulted HEAL Loans
Lender Policy Memorandum L-2006-6

This policy memorandum supersedes policy memorandum L-2005-5 and will notify HEAL holders and servicers of the wording to be used when assigning judgments on defaulted HEAL loans to the United States Department of Health and Human Services.  The attached suggested wording should be modified to meet the requirements of any relevant State laws and to reflect the precise format of the judgment.  You will notice the new wording eliminates the debtor’s social security number and amount of the judgment.  In many instances it is necessary for us to file in multiple jurisdictions, for that reason, please execute three (3) original copies of the assignment of the judgment when submitting a claim package to the HEAL program.  We are requiring the original assignments be signed in blue ink so the clerk can readily distinguish them from reproductions of the original.

Beginning July 1, 2006 all default judgment claims received that do not comply with Lender Policy Memorandum L-2006-6 will be returned without payment.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.  If you have any questions, please contact Dick Horton at (301) 443-1541.

Sincerely,
Henry López, Jr.
