Why Attorney-Assisted Professional Help Is Essential for Borrower Defense to Repayment
If you’re burdened by student loans from a school that misled you, the Borrower Defense to Repayment program offers a path to relief. However, success isn’t guaranteed—it requires demonstrating both your personal experience of being misled and your school’s history of predatory practices.
You can technically file a Borrower Defense claim yourself by downloading the application from the Department of Education's official website and submitting it directly. This option is ideal if you have direct, compelling evidence of misconduct. However, based on the most recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) data as of April 2022:
- Total Borrower Defense Claims: Total Borrower Defense Claims: Surpassed 1 million as of mid-2022.
- Majority Pending: Most claims remain unprocessed due to significant backlogs and staffing shortages at the Department of Education.
Volunteer and Advocacy Group Limitations: Free resources exist but are overwhelmed and slow to respond.
For those without direct evidence - and this applies to most borrowers, success is far
more difficult. That’s where we come in. Before taking on your case, we carefully
evaluate both your school and your experience to ensure your claim is valid and
supported by evidence. Only claims we approve are eligible for our money-back
guarantee, and our service: if our claim service doesn’t get you a discharge, we refund
100% of our service fees.
Proving Both Your Experience and School Misconduct
To strengthen your claim, we focus on two critical factors:
1.1 Your Personal Experience
- Misrepresentations about job placement rates, accreditation, credit transferability, or costs must align with documented evidence.
- If you don’t have detailed records, we uncover systemic patterns of misconduct to support your case.
1.2 Your School’s Predatory History
- A strong claim often relies on the school’s record of documented misconduct, such as lawsuits, whistleblower accounts, or settlements.
- Not sure if your school qualifies? Call us, and we’ll verify for you.
Without approval of both your personal experience and your school’s history, claims often lack the strength needed for success.
