200,000 student-loan borrowers will be 'severely harmed' if a judge rules in favor of 3 companies who want to block them from getting $6 billion in debt relief, a new legal filing says

• A federal judge signed off on a settlement giving 200,000 student-loan borrowers $6 billion in debt relief last year.
• In January, three companies requested a stay on the relief, citing reputational harm the settlement brought them.
• Borrowers in the case recently filed a motion opposing the stay due to the harm postponing the relief would bring.

A group of student-loan borrowers who believe they were defrauded by their schools responded to the companies that want to block them from getting long-awaited debt relief.
