It’s been a bad few weeks for Betsy DeVos. The Secretary of Education is battling multiple lawsuits brought by student loan borrowers, and she just suffered major setbacks in two of the cases.

to provide student loan borrowers who were defrauded by their schools with a pathway to relief and possible student loan forgiveness. The process involves completing an application and submitting it to the Dept. of Education, along with supporting documentation and records. While the applications are pending, collections activities on the underlying student loans are supposed to be paused.

When DeVos took over the U.S. Department of Education in 2017, her administration tried to rewrite the rules governing Borrower Defense to Repayment, and stopped processing applications, leaving around 160,000 borrowers in limbo. In some cases, the Department of Education continued to illegally seize borrowers’ wages and tax refunds to satisfy defaulted student loans, even though collections was supposed to cease pending the outcome of Borrower Defense to Repayment applications.

HRC right again it’s not the principal but the interest that’s killing everyone. Not just student loans but a majority of loans in US are predatory and no one addresses the loan shark fees and ridiculous interest rates.
