Bay State College Under Fire 
Former Students May Be Eligible for Full Loan Forgiveness

If you attended Bay State College and felt like you were misled—about job placement, program value, or career promises—you may qualify to get your federal student loans completely wiped out. It’s not speculation: the Massachusetts Attorney General already sued the school, and students have been granted debt relief.

Let’s break it down.

Why Bay State College Borrowers Are Filing for Forgiveness

Bay State College agreed to a $1.1 million settlement in 2020 after being accused by the Massachusetts Attorney General of:

• Misleading job placement rates to inflate program value
• Failing to disclose accurate career outcomes
• Providing inadequate student disclosures during recruitment

The result? $700,000 in student restitution and $400,000 in discharged debt for students deceived by the college’s tactics.

And it didn’t stop there—Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Senator Elizabeth Warren have both demanded broader action from the Department of Education, calling for full forgiveness for defrauded Bay State students.

If that’s you, you’re not alone—and you have options.

Do You Qualify for Borrower Defense to Repayment?

You may qualify for 100% loan forgiveness if:

• You were promised high job placement rates or career services that didn’t exist
• You were misled about accreditation, costs, or transferability of credits
• You experienced pressure tactics or bait-and-switch recruitment

This isn’t a long shot. The Department of Education has already approved billions in Borrower Defense discharges for schools just like Bay State College.

Here’s the Catch…

Time is running out. As of May 2025, the federal government has resumed wage garnishments and tax offsets for delinquent loans.

That means if you don’t act now, your paycheck or tax return could be at risk—even if you were defrauded.
