Meet smiling social worker Ana Rojas. According to social media posts by USA Student Debt Relief, the company was able to reduce payments on her $200,000 student loans from $1300 a month for 28 years to just $417 a month for eight years. Posts featuring attorney Jorge Florez touted similar successful results by working with USA Student Debt Relief. But according to an FTC complaint filed in federal court in Florida, “Ana” and “Jorge” aren’t real customers of the company – their smiling faces are stock photos – and the repayment scenarios the posts describe aren’t attainable. What’s more, the FTC says those alleged untruths are just the tip of USA Student Debt Relief’s iceberg of deceptive practices.
