In answer to Jerry about which loans were sold and how to get them forgiven, this is what I can tell you:

Upon graduation, BCTI always sold its 'BCTI' loans to a 3rd party (Monterrey, I think). It was used as one of the sales pressure tactics to get students to goto Phase 2....."If you don't go into Phase 2 right away, your loans will come due.....but if you enroll right now, you won't have any payments until later"

Students who received federal money (Pell / Stafford) should contact the US department of education to start the process of getting those cancelled.

If you are unsure about what kind of loan you had, look at the interest rate. If it is sky-high above 20%, then it was a BCTI loan.
(I believe it was like 22%). Maybe there is an ex-funding specialist reading this that would know about getting money back from the sold loans?

Good Luck ---

The private BCTI loans were the ones sold to Monterey Finacial Services in Carlsbad, CA.

I have sent them a letter myself stating I will not make payments until the State determines how much I actually owe. I also stated that I am involved in the class action lawsuit as well. If you haven't joined it I suggest you do. A quick search in the Pierce County legal register will get you the info you need as well.

BCTI primary owners will most likely be behind bars soon enough.

There is a court date on April 1st (Friday) and I am hoping to hear from the law office afterwards on the outcome of the initial court preceedings. I believe one of the motions is to have Monterey cease and decist all collections on BCTI private loans until the mess can be sorted out but I'm not sure on that.

I am glad that BCTI closed down. I felt like I was wasting my time and that no one at the school really cared about their students.

Shaun, you said that some of your student loans were forgiven. The last I heard from them was that they would send me a form to fill out. I would appreciate any info that could help with that situation.

As far as being happy about the closure, I was embarrased about the school and would not tell people that I was attending bcti. I did learn but when I thought about my 10,000 dollar debt I would cringe and get a sick feeling in my stomach. So the closing of the school was a gift to the current students and any one else that will not have to pay their loans.

I have talked to the lawyer about the class action suit and I am glad that someone had the courage to sue. The way that students were recruited and the type of students that were enrolled was a red flag to me. I feel horrible for them and encourage everyone to contact the law firm that is bringing the suit against the owners of bcti. They are crooked individuals and hopefully they will get what they deserve.
