Glen,

We have the same thing here ( I think we stole it from you folks). The issue is not the courts as much as it is the overseeing agency. The Department of Education can write a requirement and if you fail to comply you may feel their wrath. By some accounts not a pleasant experience. They do not say you cannot image the record and work from the imaged record, just that you have to retain the original inked promissory note, and return it when the loan is paid in full. It is not a court requirement, they may be perfectly happy with an image. However, the Agency will have a fit.
