Student Lending
Former Corinthian Colleges Students Eligible for Streamlined Loan Discharge Avoid scams – it is free to apply. If you are asked to pay then it’s likely a scam. Students who have already applied and have questions about responses from their student loan servicer or the U.S. Department of Education are encouraged to contact our Student Loan Helpline (1-800-455-2456; TTY: 1-800-964-3013) or to file a complaint with our office. The Attorney General's Office is a national leader in investigating and enforcing consumer protection violations in the higher education field, becoming the first state Attorney General's Office to file lawsuits against emerging student loan debt scams, leading the investigation into Sallie Mae (now Navient), and pursuing litigation against national for-profit colleges for fraudulent marketing practices. The Attorney General's Office also created the Student Loan Helpline (1-800-455-2456; TTY: 1-800-964-3013) to provide struggling student borrowers with free resources about repayment options and information on avoiding default. Borrowers can also call to file consumer complaints regarding issues with the billing and servicing of their loans.
