On August 29, 2024, 26 stakeholder organizations and over 800 individual student loan borrowers submitted a letter to the U.S. Department of Education applauding its actions to bring debt relief to defrauded borrowers and urging the department to take advantage of its significant authority to bring relief to hundreds of thousands more. Advocates strongly urge the Department to leverage its group discharge authority to bring long-overdue justice to defrauded borrowers who deserve relief from undeserved and harmful bad debts.
