Agreement with Student Loan Xpress, Inc.

college moneyKentucky Attorney General Jack Conway announced an agreement with Student Loan Xpress, Inc. (SLX) that will result in an estimated $3.6 million reduction in the loan obligations for students who attended a now bankrupt West Kentucky law school.

"I am pleased we were able to conclude this investigation by getting significant loan forgiveness for students," General Conway said. "As we investigated this case over many months, we found dozens of students who were obligated to pay thousands of dollars in student loans for academic credits that didn't transfer. The lender also charged fees when it said it would not and required loan repayment when students were entitled to deferments because they were still in school. There was an overall pattern of abuse by the lender that ignored federal and state consumer protection requirements and put students in a financial bind before they even started their careers." | More information
