(a)A licensee shall not be required to comply with the requirements of subdivision
(g)of Section 28130, if the licensee reasonably determines that any of the following apply:
(1)A qualified written request is substantially the same as a qualified written request previously made by the borrower, for which the licensee has previously complied with its obligation to respond pursuant to subdivision
(g)of Section 28130, unless the borrower provides new and material information to support the more recent qualified written request. New and material information means information that was not reviewed by the licensee in connection with a prior qualified written request submitted by the same borrower and that is reasonably likely to change the licensee’s prior response related to that request.
(2)A qualified written request is overbroad. A qualified written request is overbroad if the licensee cannot reasonably determine from the qualified written request the specific error that the borrower asserts has occurred on his or her account or the specific information the borrower is requesting related to his or her account. To the extent a licensee can reasonably identify a valid assertion of an error or valid request for information in a qualified written request that is otherwise overbroad, the licensee shall comply with the requirements of subdivision
(g)of Section 28130 with respect to that valid asserted error or request for information.
(3)A qualified written request is delivered to the licensee more than one year after the licensee sells, assigns, or transfers the servicing of the student loan that is the subject of the qualified written request to another servicer.
(b)If, pursuant to subdivision (a), a licensee determines that it is not required to comply with the requirements of subdivision
(g)of Section 28130, the licensee shall notify the borrower of the determination, and the basis for its determination, in writing not later than five business days after making such determination.
