Q: I recently had to withdraw from school due to not being able to pay for it.
Before I withdrew from school, the college wanted me to stay so they offered to let me do the online adult program. Two weeks before I was to do the online program, they called and said they weren't going to allow me to do it because my advisor didn't want me to. They waited until the last minute and it was too late for me to get into another school. I believe they thought if they waited that I would return on campus regardless of not being able to pay for it.
Since they waited until the last minute, I was unable to get into another school to finish my degree. I only had 3 semester left.
Now my loans are coming due soon.
I honestly do not believe that I should have to repay all my loans because of that they did to me at the last minute. Is there anything I can do about that? I'll pay some but I just don't think it's right to pay all..
A: No, you are the hook for your student loans even if you did not complete your degree. You aren't paying the school at this point you are paying the loan provider. The school already got their money. If payment is an issue you can work with your student loan provider to get onto an income based repayment plan.
