OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings affirms the ratings of the notes issued by PARTS Private Student Loan Trust Series 2007-CT1. The Rating Outlook for the class A notes is Stable. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Collateral Quality: The trust is collateralized by approximately \$46.1 million of private student loans as of February 2015 that were originated according to either TERI or LEARN underwriting guidelines. The projected remaining defaults are expected to range between 33%-36%. A recovery rate of 0% was applied as the data provided indicates a minimal recovery rate.

Credit Enhancement (CE): CE is provided by excess spread. Senior notes, benefiting from subordination provided by junior bonds, are seeing higher parity, while subordinate notes and junior subordinates continue to be under-collateralized. Senior, subordinate and junior subordinate parity ratios are currently 157.42%, 98.42% and 84.80% respectively. The Stable Outlook for the senior notes reflects improving parity and sufficient credit enhancement to absorb expected losses. The Recovery Estimate (RE) for the class B notes is approximately RE 85% and for the class C notes is RE 0%.

Liquidity Support: Liquidity support is provided by a reserve fund sized at \$1,000,000.

Satisfactory Servicing Capabilities: Day-to-day servicing is provided by Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). Fitch believes PHEAA's servicing operations are acceptable at this time.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

As Fitch's base case default proxy is derived primarily from historical collateral performance, actual performance may differ from the expected performance, resulting in higher loss levels than the base case. This will result in a decline in CE and remaining loss coverage levels available to the notes and may make certain note ratings susceptible to potential negative rating actions, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage. Fitch will continue to monitor the performance of the trust.
