    Lawsuit filed over Education Dept.'s non-compliance with student loan forgiveness rules

    A lawsuit claims the Education Department is not fully following federal law requiring the erasure of student loans for borrowers whose colleges close suddenly. Federal statute mandates automatic debt relief in these circumstances, but the department's implementation apparently does not meet legal requirements.

    “Federal law requires the Education Department to erase the student loans of borrowers whose colleges close suddenly. A new lawsuit claims the department isn't fully following those rules.”
