XX/XX/XXXX Understanding Your Debt Collection Rights XXXX i was literally coerced they pushed the debt on me from a student loan i didn't even have knowledge was open when i didn't get to finish the course due to in eligibility to attend nor get the federal loan from the department of education the school falsified my high school to make me eligible mind you they know months prior i did not obtain one the school was 3.000 miles away from my home i trusted they would take care of the loan not knowing what they did so the private lender denied my online application no signature and ask if i might have someone co sign if needed obviously waiting on the federal loan approval i was told to start and my aunt was ask to see if she pre-qualified never signing to anything just gave info to a supposedly respected school, when the truth came to surface an ethical fafsa loan officer saw two high schools with the same info from different states and brought it to the owner. i was told i need a diploma to continue education by that state or equivalency.So the private lender had not yet processed any loan to our knowledge school asked to make {$25.00} payments while attending the course in mean time awaiting approval my aunt is on one side of the country im in another. if i get federal loan She agreed to me no one else nor in writing that she will help if necessary. As we could not find a solution since i started the program 6 weeks in i couldnt continue i would have to pay the entire tuition of XXXX my family said for XXXX XXXX profession and only source of income is XXXX  benefits no way even having to dish out the whole loan i wouldnt qualify legally by that state for employment, all waas voided and terminating my signed documents with only the school, no where else, i was forced to go home i had to pay the school directly for the 6 weeks of tuition XXXX cash .fly bacl across the coast, To find out in XX/XX/XXXX the loan stayed active it was certified by the school i attended briefly the lender was now defaulting me in a loan sold it to a dispicable collections agency, i had no clue i was misled and confused because i didn't have the worthiness to get the loan I know my family did not agrue to a XXXX   partial loan when i didnt get to complete the program nor was i eligible to obtain a certification without a high school diploma. the sold it done closed i couldnt do anything i was off the grid 3 years 2 of which XXXX i never had a reason to check my credit. until i decided to live in town to rent they ran my credit and here they go alots of unknown accounts in difrent areas addresses so on. the collection company is the real disgrace here. they had my most recent cell number my updated email of which i established in XX/XX/XXXX yet supposeldy not my home address which has been the same other than hospital or treatments centers since XX/XX/XXXX. they threaten i would be sued my wages garnished i explained in fear im XXXX i dont get much social security i dont even handle my own finances i have a payee i was XXXX and i had a XXXX and during their intimidating threats they said it was a lawfirm i said i cant afford the huge amount they were asking they decided on payments i just said ok not now i XXXX XXXX XXXX i just was baker acted for XXXX and XXXX XXXX on they sent me a letter predated fill this outso you dont get sued and garnished and we have a payment plan.
