    It was an ordinary Friday. Courtney Brown, 24, of Kalamazoo, Mich., was busy looking for a job. "I've applied all kinds of places," she says. "Wal-Mart, Target, Verizon Wireless."

    Then she got a strange letter in the mail. "'We are writing you with good news,'" she reads to me over the phone. "'We got rid of some of your Everest College debt ... no one should be forced to mortgage their future for an education.'"

    The letter went on to say that her private student loan from a for-profit college, in the amount of $790.05, had just been forgiven outright by something called the Rolling Jubilee.
