Can I Apply for Borrower Defense if I’m in PSLF for Loan Forgiveness?

Question:

Dear Steve,

I just found out my school is now one of the schools part of the Borrower Defense lawsuit, Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

I’m currently under the PSLF program, needing four more years until forgiveness.

If I apply for the Borrower Defense discharge, will it affect my current PSLF application?

Bill
