This section lists the names, addresses, and other identifying information of the guaranty agencies. The address may be used to contact guaranty agencies to resolve discrepancies in backup data. However, do not use this address if a guaranty agency has provided you with a different address or addressee. Each agency is listed in alphabetical order by the name of the state in which it is the primary guarantor. The three-digit guaranty agency code listed in parentheses for each agency is the coding system used by the Department to identify each guaranty agency. The Higher Education Assistance Foundation (HEAF) ceased operations on December 31, 1993. In preparation for the closing, HEAF transferred its remaining guarantees on loans not in default to other guaranty agencies. Affected lenders were notified of the guaranty agency now holding their student loan guarantees which were originally issued by HEAF. The new guaranty agency will be reported on the back-up data. The Department possesses the records on defaulted loans on which HEAF paid default claims to lenders. The Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC), (formally the Transitional Guaranty Agency (TGA)), processes records relating to a small number of loans guaranteed by HEAF that were not transferred to other agencies and for loans guaranteed by HEAF that were paid as or subsequently became Chapter 13 bankruptcy claims. ECMC also holds and services Chapter 13 default bankruptcies for numerous guaranty agencies that, on a voluntary basis, transfer these portfolios to ECMC.

(SLFI) has been replaced (July 1, 1994) by the Northwest Education Loan Association (NELA) as the designated guarantor.
