W.VA. REACHES SETTLEMENT WITH STUDENT LOAN COMPANY

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey joined a coalition of 48 attorneys general, including Brian Frosh of Maryland, in reaching a $330 million, multi-state agreement with a student loan company accused of pressuring students into accepting loans they could not pay back. The agreement erases over a million dollars in debt for 138 consumers in West Virginia. All were former students of  ITT Technical Institute, a now-bankrupt for-profit college.
