The Washington Post (Danielle Douglas-Gabriel) covers the story, in an article titled "Student loan servicer MOHELA tells advocacy group to stop 'misleading claims.'" The article links to MOHELA's demand letter, which closes with,
This letter provides the SBPC [the Student Borrower Protection Center] with notice of the falsity of the above-described statements and insinuations. Consequently, if the SBPC continues to make and publish any of these false and misleading statements, MOHELA will treat that continuation as done with knowledge of the statements' falsity or with reckless disregard of their truth or falsity, which can lead to punitive damages under libel laws and other related laws. MOHELA is hopeful that you understand that MOHELA will take all appropriate action necessary to stop this conduct if you persist. MOHELA greatly values and aggressively protects its rights and reputation and intends to vigorously enforce its rights.
