Florida Student Aid Fraud Attorneys
The federal government has an interest in an educated public. So, it has a loan-guarantee program to help students fund their education. Unfortunately, certain for-profit schools have recruited students with false promises of the benefits of their programs. The students can't repay the loans, usually because they can't find jobs, and now the government has to repay them.
The federal False Claims Act (FCA) allows individuals to report student-aid fraud that costs the government money, and participate in the compensation awarded or obtained in settlement. If you have borrowed money to go to school through a government-guaranteed loan program only to learn that the school has made totally false promises, you may be able to sue the school.
Those who defraud the U.S. Government face severe sanctions under the FCA. Sometimes the government participates in the qui tam lawsuit and sometimes it does not. But the entity that is sued may be liable for three times the amount for which they have defrauded the government.

Education fraud is a fairly new phenomenon. With the huge amounts the fraudulent schools may owe, they are very much inclined to settle education false-claims cases, and no trial is actually necessary. You do not have to be a student who suffered because of the fraud. Professors have also filed FCA claims.
