XXXX XXXX Complaint Employment Prospects I was told by XXXX XXXX employees that if I attended and stayed the course at school, I could get a XXXX job starting at {$55000.00} salary right out of school.

Program Cost and Nature of Loan I was told by the school that it would be funded through the VA using my GI Bill and I wouldnt have debt.

Other XXXX XXXX closed all of its campuses in 2016 and declared bankruptcy. There is an ongoing bankruptcy case in which the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on Predatory Student Lending is representing a class of former XXXX students. Recently there was a settlement in the bankruptcy case where XXXX canceled over {$500.00} XXXX in debt that it held and the student class received a {$1.00} XXXX claim in the bankruptcy.

Additionally, XXXX XXXX was found responsible of using aggressive recruiting tactics and not meeting educational standards.

Both state attorneys and federal agencies conducted investigations also found XXXX XXXX was granting degrees without accreditation, misleading students into taking out private loans and not being forthcoming with the transferability of credits earned making degrees or credits earned meaningless.
