What happens to my loans while ED is reviewing my application for borrower defense to repayment? (studentaid.ed.gov)
Through borrower defense to repayment, you may be able to have your entire outstanding federal Direct Loan forgiven, and be reimbursed for amounts you have already paid. (studentaid.ed.gov)
In addition to the types of forgiveness, cancellation, and discharge shown above, you may also be eligible for discharge of your federal student loans based on borrower defense to repayment if you took out the loans to attend a school that misled you, or engaged in other misconduct in violation of certain state laws, and if the school's act or omission directly related to your federal student loans or to the educational services that you paid for with the loans.
