Hey guys,
The current Missouri Attorney General is Josh Hawley. However, he just won the Missouri senate seat in a contested race with Claire McKaskill. So, his replacement is up in the air at this point.

This is how I join the discussion.
I invited “I am Ai” members here from Facebook in order to start organizing for this AG effort, so hopefully we will start seeing some of them soon.
“I am AI” member here! It’s refreshing to see people starting to make a movment about this. I graduated from the for-profit Art Institute Of Colorado and my degree is now worthless since the school is closing for good this month and was no longer accredited nearly a year ago. Any help to get my fraudulent loans forgiven would be greatly appreciated!
Hi! I Am AI member here. I’ve been following this extremely closely for years. I have reached out to my state attorney general (Curtis Hill of Indiana) in the past with no luck. Here was my response. I used this template to, once again, reach out to him and hope for a more valuable response.
Hi Toni, Welcome to the Debt Collective community and thanks for reaching out to your AG. Republican AGs are going to be harder to convince to take action, since they are less likely to want to defy Betsy DeVos. Let’s brainstorm other ways to keep the pressure on.
Good job Toni!!!
The response they sent makes it sound like they are treating this as an individual complaint. Did you submit it through their complaint forms?
We might have better luck just using the template and mailing/emailing it to their main office.
But as Ann said, it could be like banging our head against a brick wall with these right wing AGs.
Then again if enough people follow your lead, they might take a closer look. Let’s get more people in IN to send a letter about this.
Great job!
I am Aier here as well. I’ve made it a point to follow up with the AG and their team as I received an actual response from Ai after I put in my complaint. They basically stated that they didn’t anything wrong…I followed up with the AG back in October with my response that I didn’t think the schools’ response resolved any issues. I am still waiting on a follow up and requested that they investigate further on behalf of myself and the many other Illinois residents this affects. While our AG has been a huge asset in the most recent lawsuits, there is still more to be done. In addition to the AG - I also reached out and sent in my file to our Senator - Dick Durbin. I think we need to continue to go higher and higher. I still haven’t received a follow up, but as a few others from Illinois mentioned, there has been a transition with Kwame now transitioning into his new role. Yet, I think it is vital for those of us taking the time to send in letters and file complaints continue to be vocal. Too many will try to ignore us, but it is important that we not allow that to happen, we have to be so loud they can’t ignore us anymore. Thanks for continuing to do what you and the team do Ann. You’ve sparked something deep within many of us to not give up on this fight. It’s only just beginning. – Jen
So for Illinois, it looks like my contact is still there at least for the time being, so I sent my letter to his direct email as well as submitting it to the main Illinois AG website. I am not sure if he will be staying on after everything is transitioned, but I did receive a response on another matter about my dtr, so I am just waiting for a response on this now.

“I am AI” member, I submitted a letter to the Illinois Attorney General, I am posting to hopefully encourage more people to send letters and hopefully we can get a big push in the right direction here.
Michigan has a Democratic AG right now too, would be a good time to push. I’m writing her now.
She (Dana Nessel, AG/Michigan) helped to push for debt relief here!

I was wondering if there is any update on your end from Illinois? I know we have had a few letters sent out. I have heard nothing back in regards to my letter I sent.
I haven’t heard anything from IL.
However, IL is one of the states that already filed a group wide discharge. I don’t know much about that particular group wide discharge or which school(s) it covers. We should do some research on this front.
Art Institute Online victim here.
I live in Florida unfortunately. Can you help with a custom letter?
Thanks!
