Consumer Narrative
We are writing as a collective group of defrauded students and alumni who attended XXXX schools, urging immediate action to approve outstanding Borrower Defense applications and provide full relief for those impacted. Many of us attended the following institutions owned by or affiliated with XXXX, where misrepresentations and predatory practices have been well-documented : * XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Department of Education has XXXX XXXX significant evidence of misconduct by these schools. Specifically, XXXX XXXX misrepresented job placement rates to prospective students between XXXX and XXXX, falsely claiming that XXXX % of graduates secured jobs in their field of study within six months of graduation. This claim, widely advertised in national campaigns and direct mailings, was later revealed to be grossly inaccurate. XXXX included old jobs held by mid-career students before enrolling and excluded graduates who found employment outside their field of study. At its peak, XXXX enrolled nearly XXXX students across campuses in XXXX states and through an online program accessible nationwide. The scale of this deception has left countless students burdened with unmanageable debt and limited opportunities, as documented in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Summary and Statements of Facts. We are asking you to take immediate steps to : 1. Approve all outstanding XXXX XXXX applications for students who attended these institutions. 2. Discharge all loans associated with fraudulent practices, including consolidated loans. 3. Repair borrowers credit reports to reflect the removal of these fraudulent debts. Delaying action only prolongs the harm caused by these predatory institutions, leaving borrowers unable to move forward with their lives. Many of us pursued higher education to achieve the American Dream, but this dream was stolen by the very institutions we trusted to help us achieve it. We implore you to act decisively to ensure justice for all borrowers who were misled and exploited. The stakes are simply too high to risk further delays. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, Students & Graduates of XXXX XXXX
