The updated guidance includes strategies and tips for increasing the chances that a borrower’s application will ultimately be approved.Borrower Defense to Repayment Can Lead to Student Loan Forgiveness and Other Debt Relief

Borrower Defense to Repayment is a federal student loan debt relief program designed for borrowers who have been defrauded by their school. Under the program, “certain conduct by a school you attended might make you eligible to receive a discharge of some or all of your federal student loans,” as well as refunds of past payments in certain cases, according to the Education Department.

Examples of school misconduct that can give rise to a Borrower Defense claim include misrepresentations or false promises about key elements of an educational or vocational program such as admissions statistics, career prospects, or the transferability of credits to other institutions. Breach of a contract can also give rise to a Borrower Defense claim.

Not all types of school-related misconduct can result in a viable Borrower Defense claim, however. General dissatisfaction with a program or facilities, conflicts with teachers or other students, and civil rights violations can all be serious, but do not necessarily fall under the umbrella of an actionable Borrower Defense claim.
