Vatterott College Loan Forgiveness
Borrower Defense Guide

Were you misled by Vatterott College? You're not alone. Thousands of former students were promised career ready programs, but were left with useless degrees and crushing debt. The good news? You may qualify for full student loan forgiveness under the Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR) program.

Why Borrower Defense Matters for Vatterott College Students

Vatterott College—a once-prominent for-profit chain—shut down abruptly in 2018 after a cascade of legal, financial, and accreditation issues. What’s worse: it left tens of thousands of students with federal loans for programs that failed to deliver on their promises.

Here's the catch:

If your school lied to you, your loans can be wiped out. Borrower Defense exists for this exact reason.

Legal Troubles and Deceptive Practices

Vatterott’s misconduct is well-documented:

• $13 million lawsuit settlement after a student sued for being misled about her career prospects.
• False claims about job placement rates, salary outcomes, and program value.
• Loss of accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges for failure to ensure student success.
• Closure of all campuses after being cut off from federal student aid.

These aren’t isolated incidents. The Department of Education recognized patterns of deception that make many Vatterott borrowers strong candidates for loan discharge.

Do You Qualify for Forgiveness?

If you attended Vatterott College and:

• Were promised high-paying jobs or quick employment
• Were misled about transferability of credits
• Were enrolled in programs that lost accreditation
