CHICAGO – (ENEWSPF)—May 4, 2015. Nearly a year after Corinthian Colleges began to collapse under the weight of its own wrongdoing, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) called on the U.S. Department of Education to provide meaningful federal debt relief to students who attended the school’s local campuses, branded as Everest College. Illinois students who attended Everest College are not currently eligible to discharge their federal student loans because the Illinois campuses were sold as opposed to closed. Durbin is urging the Department of Education to take additional action to allow Illinois students wronged by Corinthian to file defense to repayment claims and receive loan forgiveness and for the Department to develop a simple, borrower-friendly process for these students.
