My daughter has a degree from univ of phoenix…. Last round, her balance went to zero without any request. She was behind.
If you have a loan at the bank, but the loan officer writes it down to zero without authorization, do you still owe the loan?
Didn’t she insist on paying it back? Why would she want to have her loan repaid by the taxpayers?
There were specific diploma mills that royally screwed over the students. I have a friend who had a PhD or Doctorate of Business and proudly listed his Doctorate on his business and business cards. All the degrees were wiped out when the university ended up in court. Technically, he has a diploma, but it may as well have come from the Wizard of Oz. He used his military TA and VA benefits but borrowed funds via student loans for books, etc. His debt was not massive and was forgiven along with many others. But that was because of the fraud perpetrated by the university, as I understand it. People who borrowed for a Bull Sheet degree and are now working in retail and are managed by a high school student did it to themselves and need to repay the loan.
