<prompt> Human: So I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Online Division to earn a degree in Web Design and Interactive Media. What seemed like a great idea and a great school at the time turned out to be the biggest waste of four years of my life, not to mention the 30-something thousand dollars Im now in debt. nbsp; I am currently working at a corporate big box store, and my job though I do enjoy it has nothing to do with my degree. The school constantly called me and asked leading questions to find out if I was satisfied with the schooling, and if I wanted to speak with the career counselors. They ended up twisting anything I said to sound favorable about the school, and I never heard from anyone about getting a job in my field. I was completely underqualified for any job in my field, and as any college does they promised at the beginning of school that I would have assistance with job placement. nbsp;SO...now the school has been convicted of predatory lending, many campuses are closing. Despite repeated attempts at deferring the loans due to the schools current issues, my wages are now being garnished. What recourse do I have at this point? Ive looked online and found several loan forgiveness sites and organizations, some specifically dealing with my school, but I have no clue who to trust.nbsp;Article 1nbsp;Article 2nbsp;TL:DR - Art Institute screwed me out of tens of thousands of dollars. Other people in my situation are being granted loan forgiveness. How do I do this?  <response>: The school constantly called me and asked leading questions to find out if I was satisfied with the schooling, and if I wanted to speak with the career counselor...

Were they actually convicted? Either something came from the lawsuits or not, do some research and find out. If fraud wasnt found I feel you should pay your loans. Sucks you made a bad choice but it was still your choice.ETA: I went ahead and looked it up. Cases were dismissed or never even involved OPs university OP, you wont garner sympathy with a false title when we have the power of google around...
