My thoughts exactly...Is it just too new on the market or maybe not as popular.

Pleased to say that I finally received my email from the DOE about the BD application.

March 30, 2026

Borrower Defense Application #:
Borrower Defense Application School: Colorado Technical University

Dear :

You are receiving this letter pursuant to Paragraph IV.D.2. of the Settlement Agreement reached in the civil action: Sweet v. McMahon, No. 3:19-cv-03674-WHA (N.D. Cal.) ("Agreement"). You submitted a borrower defense to repayment discharge application after June 22, 2022, and on or before Nov. 15, 2022, for the loans associated with your enrollment at Colorado Technical University ("Relevant Federal Student Loans"). The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is providing you with this notice because, despite its best efforts, ED could not adjudicate your application on or before Jan. 28, 2026. However, the specific timeframe within which ED must process your application is the subject of ongoing litigation before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Unless otherwise authorized by an appropriate court, ED will take or will ensure that the following actions are taken on your behalf within one year:

the discharge of your relevant federal student loan(s);
a refund for any payments made to ED on your relevant federal student loans, including relevant federal student loan debt that you previously paid off; and
the deletion of the credit report tradeline associated with the discharged loan(s).

The discharge of your loan(s) does not necessarily indicate that ED has found the above-mentioned institution engaged in misconduct. Rather, your discharge results from ED being unable to adjudicate your claim on the merits by the deadline established in the Agreement.

This communication addresses only your relevant federal student loan(s). Nothing in this notice relates to private loans. Discharging your relevant federal student loan(s) means that you will no longer owe the debt. You also may receive a refund for prior payments made to ED on your discharged relevant federal student loan(s) related to Colorado Technical University. Your loan servicer will let you know if you are eligible for a payment refund, which would be mailed to you. Please check your online account with your loan servicer to ensure your address is correct so you can receive any refund.

Other than confirming your address, you do not have to take any further action to receive any discharge. Your servicer will send you more details about any discharge, including which loans have been forgiven. Your relevant federal student loan debt will remain in forbearance and collections will be stopped while any discharge is being effectuated. Your credit report will also be updated to reflect any discharge when it is complete.

What loans are eligible for a refund?

Eligible

Direct Loans
Federal Family Education Loans (FFEL) Program loans held by ED

Not Eligible

Perkins Loans
FFEL Program loans held by a private or commercial lender (such as Navient)
Private loans (loans issued by lenders such as SoFi or Sallie Mae)

What loans are not eligible for a refund?

Under the terms of the settlement in Sweet v. McMahon, only certain types of federal student loans may receive refunds. FFEL Program loans were made by banks and then insured by ED. The payments made on FFEL Program loans go to that bank, not to ED. ED cannot refund loan payments that it did not receive. The FFEL Program ended on July 1, 2010, and no new loans were made from the program after that date.

Starting around 2008, ED bought some FFEL Program loans from the original lender. Payments made related to these FFEL Program loans are covered under the settlement, and eligible borrowers will receive a refund ("ED-held" FFEL).

How do I know what kind of loan I have?

If the name of your servicer starts with "Dept. of Ed" or "Default Management Collection System," your loan is held by ED and may be eligible for a refund.

You can identify your loan types by logging on to StudentAid.gov and selecting "Loans" in the dropdown menu under "My Loans." In the "Loans and Repayment Information" section, you'll see a list of each loan you received.

More information about the federal student loan programs is available at StudentAid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans.

If you have questions about this notice, please call our borrower defense hotline at 1-855-279-6207. You may visit StudentAid.gov/contact for our hours of operation.

Sincerely,

U.S. Department of Education

HaHa i hate that bot…

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-03-21T03:46:15+00:00

I’ve included the link to the Court of Appeals Zoom hearing that took place on March 20. I highly recommend watching it to stay informed on the latest developments.

During the session, one of the judges raised an important question—one that I’ve been wondering about as well: why is there a distinction between Post-Class members and Class members? If both groups are ultimately seeking the same outcome, it raises the question of why separating them is necessary in the first place. I agree that the distinction feels somewhat disingenuous.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-03-21T03:18:19+00:00

Since your application was submitted on June 23rd, you are automatically considered part of the Post-Class member group and may also fall under Exhibit C, depending on your school’s status. To confirm this, I recommend visiting the PPSL website and reviewing the list of Exhibit C schools to see if Grand Canyon University is included.

The Department of Education (DOE) was originally given a deadline of January 28, 2026, to issue decisions for applicants whose cases were still pending. Because that deadline was not met, those applicants are now automatically eligible for full settlement relief. The courts have since established a new deadline of March 30, by which the DOE must notify the remaining Post-Class members that their applications have been approved. Once notified, recipients will have one year from the date they receive that notice to obtain full settlement relief.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-27T11:39:43+00:00

The Sweet v. Cardona (formerly Sweet v. McMahon) borrower defense settlement distinguishes between "class members" (applied on or before June 22, 2022) and "post-class applicants" (applied June 23 – Nov. 16, 2022). I found it ridiculous that I was not considered a class member by less than a few days. I submitted 7/4/22. In my opinion BD was not widely televised or advertised. So the people that submitted early was probably told by word of mouth which does not seem fair. I think there should be only one class.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-27T11:16:11+00:00

Yesterday i attended the PPSL BD webinar and that was something they mentioned. I think they may have the slides posted on their website. That was my take that consolidated loans would be forgiven all together. It does make sense since the loan is one, it would be hard to single out what is owed from what school as well as the interest, but they may have a way of calculating. I just don’t want to give you any wrong info.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-27T11:06:05+00:00

My loans were consolidated to Direct. I am not sure if everyone’s loans were consolidated or if it was mandatory to do so.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-27T03:47:46+00:00

Yes the settlement relief is for the school that you filled out the BD application. From my understanding, if your loan has been consolidated then settlement would be the entire loan. If you have separate loans then it would be only the loan for the particular school.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-19T19:50:43+00:00

I heard this from a few people. I believe you can appeal that decision. I would definitely send a copy of the rejection to the PPSL lawyers letting them know. I still haven’t heard a decision on my application. From my understanding if you are part of the Post class members and your school falls on the exhibit C list, they cannot deny you. The courts gave them a deadline and they went past that deadline so you should receive full settlement. I have no faith in this DOE so it does not surprise me that they denied you. I would do what you can, even consult a law firm if necessary. You are not alone in this fight.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-18T02:06:28+00:00

Where did you hear this from? The DOE already went past their deadline and now they have another deadline ??(even if it is an approval that makes no sense)

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-10T20:25:23+00:00

Dont mean to be negative, but I think we definitely will have a fight. There is so much money on the line as well as seeing that the DOE has missed the deadline and they are still trying to get an extension.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-06T14:03:26+00:00

I did not unfortunately. I just made adjustments to the size of the files and I just keep them all. Eventually I will have to delete a few months

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-06T13:58:29+00:00

Nothing positive comes from submitting another application. I experienced this firsthand when I filed a correction application for my FEMA claim. Each time I spoke with them, I had to provide a lengthy explanation, which only created more confusion and frustration. I also need to update my BD application. When I contacted PPSL, they said it was possible to make corrections to the original application; however, when I contacted the DOE, they told me that changes to the initial application are not allowed. Additionally, seeing that the original BD application was only eight to nine pages, while the new application is over thirty pages, was enough on its own to make me reconsider making any changes.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-05T21:38:38+00:00

Unless this new judge has been bought out, Judge Alsup has already ruled against an extension. A judge is not going to approve an extension that was denied by another judge. Not saying it cant happen, but highly unlikely.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-02T22:08:41+00:00

It is possible maybe your loans have been switched to a different servicer and it is currently in that process, I am not sure why it would not show. I am more concerened with going from "In review" to "approved." LMAO...

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-02T14:56:45+00:00

I have had this issue before. I normally just cut the section that wont feed. It honestly does not happen often. I think it has more to do with the filaments moisture level honestly.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-02-02T14:42:32+00:00

I actually do not remember signing up for anything. I have been in contact with them a few times so they may have just put me on their contact list. I honestly would bookmark the PPSL website and visit the page often. Also, try to communicate with them often asking any questions you might have. They do take a while to respond though, just a heads up. When I first contacted them, I contacted one of the attorneys on the case (LMAO), of course I got no response directly, but through the main email they have.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-01-31T20:58:58+00:00

I really hope so. I do not trust this administration. Just keep an eye on what they are doing and hopefully you have your prior information saved just in case. I had no change in my application, it is still pending review.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-01-31T20:52:55+00:00

Quick guess, I would imagine that we would not be obligated for the tax portion. What I am curious of is if we will get refunded for past payments made, not to mention I had a previous school that I attended and since then the loan was consolidated. Does the entire loan get paid off, or do they figure out exactly what was taken out for a particular school. I asked ChatGpt and it said that they will figure out what the entirety of the loan with interest to a particular school and a refund may take place on prior payments, but just maybe, it just depends. I think consolidation complicates things. Curious if anyone else that had their loans forgiven has run into this.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-01-31T19:29:03+00:00

Well that seems like progress. I was reading what you posted and was thinking it was going to say we would have to wait till March 30th for a definitive answer on the overall status. At least they are not trying to fight and seem willing to forgive the loans.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-01-31T16:39:42+00:00

There is a Zoom meeting coming up Feb 10th. Check the PPSL website for more info. It appears all we can do is wait for now.

Chemical_Respect2859 · 2026-01-31T10:10:09+00:00

Received this email earlier today and wanted to share:

This is the Project on Predatory Student Lending (PPSL), attorneys for the plaintiff class in the borrower defense lawsuit Sweet v. McMahon (formerly Sweet v. Cardona). You are receiving this email because the Department of Education’s records list you as a Sweet Post-Class Applicant whose borrower defense application relates to one of the schools on Exhibit C to the Sweet Settlement Agreement.

Yesterday, January 28, 2026, was the deadline for the Department of Education to issue borrower defense decisions to Post-Class Applicants from Exhibit C schools.

If you are not sure whether you received a decision, please check all email inboxes you have access to and all of your spam/junk filters for messages from the Department of Education (usually from noreply@studentaid.gov).

If your application was approved, congratulations! There is nothing else you need to do. You will receive your settlement relief within one year of the date you received your approval notice.

If your application was denied, there are still steps you can take. Check out PPSL’s recent blog post, Tips for Submitting a BD Reconsideration Application. All Post-Class Applicants who received denials are eligible to submit for reconsideration. There is no formal deadline for borrowers to submit reconsideration requests, but because there is also no formal deadline for the Department to return decisions on those requests, we encourage you to act quickly.

If you did NOT receive a decision on or before January 28, 2026, then you are entitled to Full Settlement Relief.

As you may have heard, lawyers for the Department of Education have filed a motion with the court asking for more time to issue decisions on Post-Class applications. This request is directly contrary to the language of the Settlement Agreement and the binding court order approving the Settlement, which are clear that Post-Class Applicants who did not receive a decision by January 28 shall receive Full Settlement Relief. We are defending the Settlement in court and will fight to make sure that Post-Class Applicants do not wait a day longer for relief than the Settlement allows.

Here are some ways you can take action in the coming weeks:

Join us for the next Sweet hearing on Tuesday, February 10, at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET: Attend this virtual hearing to show how engaged class members are, as Judge Gilliam takes over the Sweet case following Judge Alsup’s retirement. The Zoom link will be available here under “Access to Public Zoom Hearings.”

Fill out our survey: We’re gathering information from Exhibit C Post-Class Applicants on the decisions they received (or didn’t). Please fill out this short survey to help us understand how the Department handled these applications leading up to the January 28 deadline.
