What Is Borrower Defense?
Borrower defense loan discharge, often shortened to “borrower defense,” is a federal regulation that allows students who have been defrauded by their college, university, or career school to seek forgiveness for their student loans.
You may have a case for borrower defense if your school misled you about the education you received. There are many examples of this: Your school may have made false promises about your employment prospects, the cost of your education, or even whether the school was actually accredited. Visit the Federal Student Aid website to see if your loan meets the requirements for forgiveness eligibility.
