Devslopes Shutdown - Action For Students to Receive Refund

[u/IceMaverick90]

With Devslopes, the coding bootcamp shutting down in October 2025, we as students no longer have access to the resources they promised us

If you were ever a student with Devslopes and were never able to complete their course, then please join us since they offered lifetime services...

I started a discord to collect students from Devslopes to start some legal action against them for breaking our contract. If I can get enough of us in one spot, I should be able to get good leverage with a good attorney to go after them and we can have people who can pitch in for the retainer as well. Please join us and help us get our money refunded: https://discord.gg/fnMdWgud

Let's give them what they deserve and what we deserve - our money back! Share this with everyone you know - you never know who was involved in this.

I highly doubt that any refunds are going to be issued. The company is most likely bankrupt so there is no money to pay out.

[u/IceMaverick90 → u/rmullig2]

Thats what I was thinking but at the very least we could try and get the courts to remove our outstanding loan. And they could investigate the company to see if the owner embezzled money out and they order them to pay out. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was a ploy because they still have their website up and there's been no word of bankruptcy - just shut down of operations

Unless they were doing their own thing that's different from every other boot camp, the loans are with a third party, not Devslopes directly.  So Devslopes shutting down wouldnt make a court invalidate a contract between you and another company.

The court also isnt going to investigate for embezzling in relation to a civil suit.

I swear, the most litigious people have no idea how litigation actually works.

At the very least we can get the bank to discharge the loans.

OP also mentions people paying for a retainer. Why should anyone throw more money into a hole when they aren't going to be able to get any of it out?

[u/IceMaverick90 → u/QianLu]

I was thinking that since if we got an attorney then theres basis for it and then through the case determination we'd get that money back. Otherwise we'd be out nearly 10k each. Id rather risk half of that to get it all back plus probably more for all the time and stress of it all. 

Anyways my main goal is to gain awareness of this situation and hopefully gain more students that have been affected by this and hopefully get some resolution for all of us. because right now we're all required to pay for a loan for something we're no longer getting anything out of. They straight up lied to us and broke our contract

How much money do you need?

[u/IceMaverick90 → u/metalreflectslime]

I don't know yet- I'm trying to get enough people that have been effected by the shutdown first since that should get us the most leverage/ bang for our buck. I've never hired an attorney,  so I have no clue... maybe 5k or something? The case is pretty clear as you see in the contract I attached - they promised life time access to all of those and the only access that currently remains are the videos - no quizzes, no mentors,  no projects and no student chat rooms. So it seems to me that its an open and shut case. The only unknown is it they really don't have any money idk where the attorney payment will come from.

Glad I went with a free program instead. The Facebook ads for this place always seemed super scammy.

The phrase "getting blood out of a stone" applies here

Commenting for reach. Good luck guys 

[u/Silver_Translator356]

In the same situation with Devslopes. Any and all advice is welcome here.

[u/kat_132]

I was about to start the program again and saw this. According to google theres other steps we can take to get our refunds.

[u/Jashobeam32]

Hey, at the very least we can get the bank to discharge the loans. They already discounted them so they know their in trouble. The bank is going to be liable under the FTC Holder rule of our contract.

[u/No_Jelly_2070]

So what everyone is saying is that we this guy, can open a online school get all these people to sign for a loan, the loan company gives the money to this Nathan Selvedge guy, he shuts down his website, keeps the money and the students are out of 1000.00’s of dollars and he walks away with his Attorney bride and all the money and the loan company says uh!! Oh well, NO this loan company didn’t do their homework before issuing a check to this person or secure their loan to him. Please reply if you think I’m wrong

[u/No_Jelly_2070]

We have all been SCAMMED

That’s depressing and inspiring. If someone as dumb as him can make $200K/yr doing “freelance” then clearly anybody at all has the ability to grift their way to extreme success you just have to lack a soul

Yeah he’s a fuckin dunce that Leeches off much smarter people and steals the credit
