"The victory in Vara v. DeVos comes nearly two years after the Department of Education was ordered to stop collecting on the borrowers’ loans because they were covered by a borrower defense application that was filed by the Massachusetts Attorney General. The lawsuit demanded that the Department grant the Attorney General’s borrower defense application and cancel the students’ fraudulent loans."
