    Default How to Get ITT Tech Student Loans Discharged or Forgiven

    A student attended ITT Tech in the late 1990's, and has had all of the problems that other graduates have suffered due to its misrepresentation. Is it possible for him to get forgiveness of the student loan balances he still carries from that enrollment, and which he has not been able to pay due to the worthlessness of his degree?

    Default Re: How to Get ITT Tech Student Loans Discharged or Forgiven

    Information on the Department of Education's forgiveness program can be found here. Unfortunately, having attended @20 years ago, the former student does not qualify for forgiveness under that program.

    The student can consider filing for Defense to Repayment (DTR) with the Department of Education. There is no cost to do so -- just the investment of some time.

    If the student is deeply in debt, he can consult a bankruptcy lawyer about his debt load, and can specifically discuss whether he might be eligible for a full or partial discharge of his student loans under the Bivens test. (But he should explore the DTR option first.)
