Were You Misled by Rochester Business Institute?

If you attended Rochester Business Institute (RBI), this may be your shot at financial justice. Mounting evidence—including government findings—suggests the school engaged in deceptive practices that left students burdened with unmanageable debt and broken promises.

Here’s the catch: Many students don’t realize they can completely erase their federal loans under the Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR) program.

But the clock may be ticking. Here's what you need to know.

🔍 Legal & Federal Action Against Rochester Business Institute

• Department of Education Review: The U.S. Department of Education included Rochester Business Institute on its list of schools with approved Borrower Defense claims—meaning it has already validated that some students were misled or defrauded.
• Misrepresentation Claims: Students reported being misled about job placement rates, accreditation, program value, and transferability of credits.
• School Closure & Deceptive Practices: RBI ceased operations in 2015, leaving many students without a viable pathway to complete their education, a common factor in successful borrower defense cases.

“If your school misled you or violated certain laws, you may be eligible to have your federal student loan forgiven.” – U.S. Dept. of Education
