Complaint narrative:
I found this information on the Department Of Education website! Stating the exact requirements needed for FAFSA, and prior to XX/XX/XXXX enrollment without a high school diploma? i was never given a ATB test or exam, or six hours of course work to see if i qualified? I was pressured extremely hard to sign up within a weeks notices for school, using predatory tactis, and i was told a high school diploma was not needed, so they had me sign a attestation stating i went to high school, but my high school officialtranscript states and shows i never graduated? Basically, i was lied too and the school went to work immediatley after signing the documents borrowing against my name from multiple lenders without my acknowledgement. I did not know this until i was called from lenders when they raised a red flag blocking the school from taking out anymore loans? I was shock, and the education was completley a lie, XXXX grade level math, english, and science? The Bachelor degree program is a scam, and in XXXX i fell victim to it. I was cold called from a telelmarketing firm asking me if i wanted to attend university, i knew i did not qualify without a high school. 

Here the facts : 1. The attestation form used, has incorrect and untrue information on electronically signed? 

2. The application used has incorrect information as well. 

3. I was never given a ATB entrance exam which Department Of Education Requires 4. I was never told about stafford loans, only pell grant? 

5. The school won't allow me to re-entry because of no high school diploma - so i can not finish the program 6. The attestation is fake and fraudulent, due to it being incorrect and untrue - and they did not allow me to correct any of this information 7. after i realized i was defrauded and victicm of online school fraud - XXXX XXXX XXXX calls me in XXXX, and XXXX asking me to sign up again using the same fraudulent information documents used in XXXX. 

8. XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX states that the fake fraudulent attestation form is correct and true? But my high school transcript states other wise.
