TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Legal Newsline) – Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi sued College Education Services, LLC., and its owners, Frank Liz and Marcia Elena Vargas, on Thursday for allegedly scamming customers with a student loan relief program.

The Tampa-based firm allegedly offered student loan relief in which consumers would pay for fees upfront that would cover loan forgiveness, loan consolidation and relieve wage garnishments. The suit alleges that the company and its predecessor, College-Defaulted Student Loan LLC, failed to deliver on the services that were offered or didn’t properly perform the services they represented.
