Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX. Im writing you in regards to financial aid I didnt receive but the school is stating I received these funds. I did register in XXXX of XXXX and I believe the first disbursement was XX/XX/XXXX. The school I was attending which was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX disbursed my first payment and I received it but soon as I did I stop attending right after. 

On my paperwork I just discovered it showed I was withdrawn and next to it was showing code 51 for reason. As of last year I started working on my credit and couldnt understand how I owed over XXXX XXXX dollars in financial aid when I did not receive that amount. 

I started investigating on my own an saw my financial aid application was showing two disbursement. One in XX/XX/XXXX and the other showing XX/XX/XXXX. I cant understand if I was withdrawn how did I register for the next semester. Also how I passed my class in fall when I only attended a few online classes until I received my disbursement. 

The school has committed fraud against me or it could be an error but the fact they wont give me proof where those disbursement went is telling this was intentional. I look into old bank statements couldnt find anything. I also was told by XXXX that school received those funds and sent them back to XXXX but now the school is telling me I received the funds. 

They advised me to reach out to you to request information where those funds went but soon as you can get me what I need it will prove I didnt get that second disbursement in spring of XXXX. I hope I can get what I need to prove Im telling the truth but knowing how the school acted Im already assuming this wont be much help but at least it will be on the record. I need XXXX XXXX to prove they sent me those funds. Either a deposit or check. 

If you need to reach me you can by email or my cell XXXX. Ive been at my address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AZ for 9 years. If they needed to contact me they could have. So every sign is telling me the school has done this to me and others. I really hope to get this matter resolved before it becomes bigger than it is. All Im requesting is that the school provides me with proof they sent those funds in spring of XXXX to me either with a check or deposit. If I owe it Ill pay but I know I didnt receive those funds. 

I have attach my XXXX and XXXX tax return. I filed XXXX that I attended school and for XXXX I didnt so I didnt file. I know I need proof but its hard to prove something you never received so Im giving you all I have. When I attended I attended long enough to get my first disbursement. I enrolled in online classes and I completed a few and I mean a few. This school didnt withdraw me until XX/XX/XXXX although I stop in XXXX of XXXX. They where passing me just to receive the financial aid money. How sick is that I guess its normal seeing no one has any intentions on helping me. I really hope someone here will.
