On November 21, 2013, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Attorney General Martha Coakley filed a suit against the for-profit career training school, alleging that the Framingham company falsified grades and attendance records to qualify for millions of dollars in federal aid.[2][3] After ACI was found to be a predatory, for-profit institution, students who had used student loans to finance their attendance at ACI were relieved of their debt.[4]
