Borrower Defense to Repayment

Borrower defense lets you apply for a discharge of federal loans when your school misled you or broke the law in a way that harmed you. Building the evidence file is what decides the case.

Eligibility requirements

  • False or misleading statements by the school about jobs, costs, accreditation, or credit transfer
  • Federal loans taken out to attend that school
  • Documentary evidence: promises, recruiting materials, correspondence, and a sworn statement

Timing and considerations

Applications can take time and the rules that apply depend on the loan date. Check the official source before applying.
