School Misrepresentation

I graduated from NEC - ABS in January 1994 and I'm still paying on loans from that time. I seen in an article that ABS was one of many colleges that students were given loan forgiveness relief for defrauding or misleading their students!

So I applied for the debt relief in Oct 2022 and still haven't heard anything and AES has been charging me since before the pause on student loan payments came to an end, incurring more interest and added fees for non payment!
The other issue is my loans changed the school name from NEC (National Education Center - ABS (Allentown Business School) to Lehigh Valley College!!! I never attended Lehigh Valley College, they took over after I graduated from ABS! I was 20 yrs old, single mom of 1 and they screwed me over with loans! I was told at least 3xs during my time there that my grants didn't come thru on time and that I needed to take out a loan in order to start the new semester and when my grants came through they'd pay off the loans, that never happened! I was young, vulnerable and didn't realize the issue till years later, due to not finding a job after I graduated, I couldn't pay the loans, so I kept asking for a forbearance/hardship. Then when I could start paying something, I worked out an amount I could afford, never looking at my financial responsibilities, until years later.
How could the loan companies changed my school, it shouldn't of mattered that Lehigh Valley College bought out ABS, I graduated from NEC-ABS, not Lehigh Valley College! This is so damn shady! Why is nothing being done about it! People are suffering financially because the school(s) defrauded and mislead young vulnerable adults, lying about their financial situations and promising them things that never happened, such as job placement, transferring of credits and so forth!!!!

I graduated in 1999 and I came out with one job offer from an insurance company which I could have gotten without the so called degree that I have. 20 something years later I'm not able to do anything with that degree. The credits aren't even accepted at any other college. Which I was told they would. I have 40,000 plus in college debt. I could never afford to make the payments that I was given. I blew through my forbearances and deferment. What can I do with all this debt that clearly did nothing for me.

Apparently, an Associates degree from Lehigh Valley College is over $100,000. I am in a continuous battle over this.. I don't know what to do! This is literally ruining my life.

I was never notified about the law suit and I have a big loan that I feel I should have been involved knowing about. Who can I contact to find out if I can get some help. I believe I left there in 2004

Graduated 2004 was promised animation and didn't get any animation and ended up with a worthless piece of paper.

I was the last class to graduate from Lehigh Valley College for my Associate's in applied science for medical assistanting. They lied right at the door with what kind of great paying job you would get after graduation and taking out the most each semester with student loans! Very sad as a young single mother of 3 trying to better myself they took advantage of that and sadly I still owe thousands upon thousands because of them! Would be great if those would be on the list to be forgiven!!

This school should be included in loan forgiveness. All the evidence is there on the poor loan practices and misleading information they provided. I graduated in 2007 with an associates degree and still owe 70,000.

I attended Lehigh Valley College from 2006 through 2008. I had to leave twice due to medical problems. The 2nd time was in early 2008, and by the time I was ready to return, they were closed. From 2010 through 2020 I had over $20,000 stolen out of my Social Security disability benefits(I've been permanently disabled since 2003 due to irreversible neurological symptoms from irreparable damage to my spinal cord due to a congenital malformation of the cervical vertebrae, and end-stage renal failure) because of this fraudulent "debt" that this school burdened me with and then abandoned me. What can I do now?

I attended Allentown Business School in the Computer Technology Program. It was a told waste of time and money. They told you that you would be able to get a job upon graduation which was not true. The first class i attended was very well taught after that the rest were just a joke. The teachers would give us the answers to the test prior to the test or they would give an open book test so no one would fail. I do not feel that I learned anything that would help me get a job in the IT field. I'm still struggling with student loans because of this terrible school.
