Fraudulent Student Debt Federal Lawsuit

Calvillo Manriquez v. DeVos – Fraudulent Student Debt

On April 30, 2018, the Court will also hear argument on Plaintiffs’ Motion for a Preliminary Injunction in a class-action on behalf of certain Corinthian borrowers (though the result of this case will set an important precedent for ALL former for-profit students). Through this motion, Plaintiffs seek an order stopping the Department of Education from partially denying these class members’ borrower defense applications and an order requiring the Department to grant them a full loan discharge as it was doing under its streamlined process before January 20, 2017. Although it is unlikely that we will get a ruling that day, we will will get to hear how the judge is thinking about the issue.

The Debt Collective submitted an amicus brief in this case detailing harms former students experienced and asking the court to provide full relief to all. You can read the brief here.
