A nightmare that takes dreams away!

How to put into words to describe my experience and the following nightmare that ensued after so called graduation from Remington College in Jacksonville, FL. You sign a contract for a specific amount but from week one you seem to be signing again and again for loans for semester's you haven't even started yet. When you approached those in authority to better explain just what I'm signing, you nicely get told they would look into it. Once they do, you get told, oh don't worry we will rescind that last one and give you that amount back? Then you go and continue your hopeful dream of getting a college degree with credits good at any college in the United States? You still feel uneasy because some of the so called subject matter experts, are not so expert and you know more then they! To top it off, several instructors and student's themselves because they recently graduated but never worked in the field? Long story short, you believe upon graduating that after 5 financial Aides replacements, 3 school presidents, and numerous teachers and recruiters in that short year in a half that all would be well and up front. I mean you figure each school has requirements that they are suppose to meet and with federal loans you would figure they also would have rules and guidelines to prevent such things as fraud! Nope, 6 months after graduating you start getting bills from both Federal and low and behold private loans adding to a staggering $40,0000. But wait, that can't be, I signed a contract for barely $19,000 for a National Accredited School, credits transferable to any other college around the country right? Wrong on all counts, so you go back to the school and try and get explanation's as to why the difference and you get delayed, were looking into that, come back in a week to give me time to check it out, were short handed. Excuse after excuse and then one day, doors locked, school is closed and no longer in Jacksonville, FL! No access to records to prove you've been scammed, nobody to talk to, they are all gone! You call Department of Education, Sallie Mae, NELNET, all have sympathy but lots and lots of instructions but all you get is delay, the records are here or there or being moved to the main campus? I thought I was at the main campus? All they have to do is stall because after 3 short years, your screwed. During that time you find a school that actually takes their credits be it not as much as you were every told, but get accepted and University of Phoenix but you are much more aware this time and see the same thing happening so you get out, does that stop the school from submitting for loans? Nope! Do you get your money back for semester's you were never in? Nope! In the end, you lose just about everything, home, car, pension, why, because when you can use the money you do earn from jobs that neither school helped you get but claimed they did until you point out the facts to them and remove your picture from their success job board. Yep, you lose because after 3 years, you can't get help, can't get them dismissed, can't file bankruptcy or put them into it because good old uncle Sam protects its interest and you the student are not the interest they concern themselves with, it's the predatory loan Mongols who live off the unknowing, creating hundreds of millions of dollars in student debt in any feasible used car dealer fashion to the unsuspecting, unfamiliar student or parent! Yes they get their money one way or another even if its 25 years later but you, you don't get that chance! Better to die then pay for this scam! That's my story, not fully because I could write a series of books of the crap I had to go threw!
