ALBANY – Michael F. Whalen Jr. hadn’t even heard of the Child Victims Act last February, when he told reporters in Buffalo that the Rev. Norbert F. Orsolits had sexually abused him as a teenager nearly four decades ago. But on Monday, Whalen traveled by train to Albany to be recognized for his role in getting the controversial legislation adopted by New York State lawmakers. “For me, personally, if I helped it along in any way possible by stepping forward almost a year ago, then yeah, I’m so glad to see it,” Whalen said. “I’m sad to see it’s taken 12 years for it to happen.” Whalen’s news conference across the street from the Buffalo Diocese’s headquarters led to Orsolits’ admission to The Buffalo News later the same day that he had molested probably dozens of boys. The Child Victims Act, which unanimously passed the Senate Monday afternoon and later passed the Assembly by a vote of 142-3, extends the statute of … [Read more...] about New York lawmakers pass Child Victims Act: ‘This bill is about survivors’

ACS’s $9 million settlement in New York places a spotlight on problems in student loan servicing
Danielle Douglas-Gabriel, The Washington Post Published 5:19 pm PST, Friday, January 4, 2019 ACS Education Services, a company that once managed one of the largest portfolios of student loans, will pay New York $9 million to resolve charges of steering struggling borrowers away from affordable repayment plans, state officials said Friday. "ACS has systematically failed borrowers by refusing to educate them on more effective federal repayment options, and instead, pushing them towards options that padded their bottom line," said New York Attorney General Letitia James, who worked alongside Maria T.

Big banks including JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo owned some of those federally backed loans and hired ACS, now known as Conduent Education Services, to collect payments from … [Read more...] about ACS’s $9 million settlement in New York places a spotlight on problems in student loan servicing
