ITT’s Misleading Advertising
The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) reported on August 12, 2019 that it reached a deal with ITT Educational Services Inc over predatory lending practices, but does not plan to collect any of a $60 million judgment from the bankrupt for-profit college.
The CFPB had sued ITT in 2014, saying ITT was doing “predatory lending practices” which means they were preying on student borrowers and putting them into high-cost private loans that they did not understand and could not afford.
ITT at one time had about 130 campuses and closed them during the bankruptcy proceedings. The growing government scrutiny of for-profit colleges and investigation of ITT led them to bankruptcy.
In June, the government also said ITT’s affiliated lender, Student CU Connect CUSO, would stop collecting on $168 million in outstanding student loans.
