To Remove Student Loan Debts - Should We Sue Department of Education or Service Provider

Yes, the Department of Education can be sued via the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) which allows individuals to use a federal government agency for damages, loss of property, personal injury or death due to negligent or wrongful actions taken by that agency and/or its employees. That being said, federal student loan servicers handle your federal student loans on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education. It is the service provider that can remove the student loan from all records. Service providers such as Aidvantage, SoFi, Edfinancial, MOHELA, Nelnet, FedLoan, OSLA, CornerStone Education, ECSI, Granite State, College Ave, etc. can be taken to court without them declaring 'sovereign immunity' like the Department of Education could.
