Relationship with Federal Law

In the event any inconsistency exists between the provisions of 209 CMR 18.00 and the provisions of federal statutes, regulations, and the corresponding Appendices and Official Interpretations relating to the collection of debts, the servicing of student loans, or third party loan servicing, such federal law shall control but only to the extent that such federal law provides greater consumer protections than those pro- vided in 209 CMR 18.00.
