NEW YORK, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MRU Holdings, Inc.
(NASDAQ: UNCL), which does business as MyRichUncle(R) Student
Loans, endorses the New York State Attorney General's new code of
conduct for student loan marketing. "MyRichUncle has always worked
to provide parents and students with clear and accurate information
and guidance, and we applaud the attorney general for instituting
guidelines that will help ensure that the entire industry adheres
to the highest standards of marketing conduct. Financing education
is a major challenge for most American families, and the loan
industry must provide upfront information that parents and students
can trust," said MRU co-founder and co-president Raza Khan.
MyRichUncle was not a target of the Attorney General's
investigation of a group of student lenders, and did not pay a
donation to its national fund. Those firms that were found to have
undertaken deceptive practices have agreed to pay $1.4 million to
the national fund and adopt broad reforms as part of a settlement.
MyRichUncle voluntarily signed a letter on June 27, 2008 supporting
and agreeing to follow the code. UNCLG DATASOURCE: MRU Holdings,
