Ashworth College Loan Forgiveness
What You Need to Know

If you attended Ashworth College, there's breaking news you can’t afford to ignore—you may qualify to have your federal student loans completely wiped out.

That’s because Ashworth was officially charged with deceptive practices by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In 2015, the school settled with the FTC for misleading students about their ability to transfer credits and qualify for careers in fields like law enforcement and healthcare.

Sound familiar? If you enrolled thinking your degree would lead to a certain job, or if your credits didn’t transfer as promised—you may be eligible for Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR)

Why Ashworth College Students Qualify for Loan Forgiveness

Ashworth College’s settlement with the FTC wasn’t a slap on the wrist—it was a clear confirmation that the school misled borrowers. The allegations included:

• Advertising that its programs led to job eligibility in fields where they did not meet accreditation requirements
• Falsely implying that credits would transfer easily to other colleges
• Misleading claims about career outcomes, job placement, and licensing

These types of deceptive marketing practices are exactly what Borrower Defense was designed to address.

How to Qualify for Ashworth College Loan Forgiveness

To qualify under the Borrower Defense program, you’ll need to show that:

• You enrolled based on false or misleading information
• You were financially harmed by the school’s misconduct
• The misconduct violated state or federal laws

You do NOT need an attorney to apply, but many borrowers choose help due to the complexity of the paperwork and evidence requirements.

Here's the Catch…

Although Ashworth was sued and settled with the FTC, it has not yet been formally included in the Sweet v. Cardona mass discharge settlement that wiped out loans for students from schools like DeVry, ITT Tech, and University of Phoenix.

This doesn’t mean you're out of luck. In fact, Ashworth’s FTC case can be used as your legal evidence when filing your Borrower Defense application.

But you have to act. Especially with garnishments and collections restarting, waiting could cost you thousands in interest or lost refunds.
