FastTrain College Borrower Defense
Could You Qualify for Federal Student Loan Forgiveness?

If you attended FastTrain College and left with federal student loan debt, you may have more options than you realize.

Over the years, FastTrain became the subject of significant government scrutiny, allegations of deceptive practices, and legal actions that have led many former students to seek Borrower Defense to Repayment relief through the U.S. Department of Education.

Even more importantly, FastTrain was included on Exhibit C of the landmark Sweet v. Cardona settlement, recognizing that many former students had submitted Borrower Defense claims involving the school.

If FastTrain's actions influenced your decision to enroll or borrow federal student loans, you may have grounds to apply for federal loan forgiveness.

Why Is FastTrain College Associated With Borrower Defense?

Borrower Defense to Repayment allows eligible federal student loan borrowers to request loan discharge when a school made substantial misrepresentations or engaged in misconduct that violated applicable law.

Many former FastTrain students have alleged they were misled regarding topics such as:

• Employment opportunities after graduation
• Job placement rates
• Career prospects
• Program quality
• Financial aid and student loan obligations
• Transferability of credits

These are the types of allegations that commonly appear in successful Borrower Defense applications when supported by the borrower's personal experience.

FastTrain College's Legal Problems

FastTrain attracted significant attention from federal authorities and prosecutors. One of the most significant events involving FastTrain College was the criminal prosecution of its founder and owner, Murray H. Kessler.

Among the publicly reported actions:

• Federal investigations examined the school's recruiting and financial aid practices.
• School executives were accused of participating in fraudulent student recruiting and financial aid schemes.
• Federal prosecutors alleged that ineligible students were recruited primarily to obtain federal financial aid.
• Criminal proceedings resulted in convictions involving former FastTrain executives related to fraud against the federal student aid system.

These government actions do not automatically qualify every borrower for loan forgiveness, but they may provide important background information for borrowers explaining why they believe they were misled.

FastTrain Is Listed in Sweet v. Cardona (Exhibit C)

One of the strongest indicators of the Department of Education's concern is that FastTrain appears on Exhibit C of the Sweet v. Cardona Settlement Agreement, which lists schools associated with large numbers of Borrower Defense claims. 

Borrowers who previously filed qualifying Borrower Defense applications during the settlement period involving Exhibit C schools became eligible for special settlement protections and, in many cases, automatic relief. New applicants are not covered by the settlement itself, but they can still submit Borrower Defense applications under current Department of Education rules.

Could You Qualify?

You may have a potential Borrower Defense claim if you attended FastTrain and believe you were misled about:

• Employment or salary expectations
• Job placement assistance
• Accreditation
• Program quality
• Credit transfers
• Graduation outcomes
• Admissions representations
• Student loan obligations

Every application is reviewed individually, and eligibility depends on your own circumstances and evidence.

Why Acting Now Matters

Borrower Defense applications often become stronger when borrowers clearly explain:

• What school representatives told them
• Why they relied on those statements
• How those statements affected their decision to enroll or borrow federal loans
• What happened after graduation

Supporting documents such as enrollment agreements, emails, advertisements, financial aid paperwork, or employment records may also help support an application.
