I was a student at the Academy of Healing Arts after my tenure with them, I starting recieving bills from the government for student loans.
I began paying as I believed that is what normal to do when you get a bill, I believed that the amount of 20,000.00 was steep for a 4 mths program and one month of externship. I did what was right and began making the payments; fastforward my loan was sold to another company who never notfied me of the change.
In the meantime my husband was diagnosed to with cancer stage III, while I got this devastating news I recieved an email from my employer stating that my wages were going to be garnished for 500.00 a month.... WAIT! WHAT?! Mind you I had been paying my student loan, I admit not every single month every other but would give a doulbe payment.
I asked the new place that is holding my loan if there was anything that I could do as finacial harshipp because my daughter is gradfuating from High school and my husband was dx with cancer, they stated that they were sorry but the loan still needed to be paid and they were not in postion to lower the payment at this time but I could fill out a form that could take up to six months for approval.
So they sent me the information, I looked at all the options that best fit my scenerio. I noticed that on the form it asked if you had a high diploma during your time of attendance if not you could ask for a dissmal. I did not have a high diploma nor a GED, I sgned up 08/24/2005, attened 09/22/2005 and finished 04/17/2006. I recieved my GED 04/20/2006 and got my diploma of completion from the school 05/23/2006.I never knew that you could not get a federal loan without having a high school diploma/GED.
I have submitted the documentation but I wondered why they were pushing so hard for me to get my GED to the point they were willing to pay for and higher a tutor if I needed it.
