can i sue my college for this? - GoFuckYourself.com

aflex · 04-07-2004, 11:34 AM

I get NJ State funded financial aid for my college tuition. In the Fall, I finished the Associates Degree program, and this Spring I started the Bachelors course full time. New Jersey's finacial aid grant (TAG) gave me $6016 this year, which gets split up in half for Fall and Spring. In Fall, NJ/TAG paid out $3008 to my school, which was the last semester in which i was on the Associates degree program.

I just found out that supposedly I owe the school $2800. My TAG money never came through for Spring. It turns out that my college didnt update my records that I am now in the Bachelors course, the deadline was March 15th, and I find out about this now. NJ/TAG didnt pay for Spring because I was still setup by my college as persuing the Associates degree (which would put me over the maximum paid out for the associates degree).

The whole time, I was receiving mail from the school that implied my funding was perfect, including a detailed semester by semester payout schedule which INCLUDED the NJ/TAG payment for the Spring.

So right now the school is telling me to get a loan to pay the $2800, when I had $3006 of FREE grant money coming. It was an error on their part and they're implying I have to pay. The State won't pay out now, the deadline has passed.

Could this be a lawsuit? The school fucked up and now they're pushing the bill to me.

You're complaining about not getting enough free money?

Go fuck ya self, fool

aflex · 04-07-2004, 11:51 AM

How is that complaining? The school fucked up.

If you had free money coming your way and some dickhead fucked it up, you'd be heated too. So eat a dick.

Jedimaster · 04-07-2004, 12:31 PM

NEWS FLASH:

no school will EVER admit that it made a mistake.

DrewKole · 04-07-2004, 12:52 PM

er, don't you have to repay financial aid? Or is this a completely funded program by NY?

I had to pay for my schooling, get a grip and do yours too.

Your fault for getting an Associates anyways

GeorgeJetson · 04-07-2004, 12:54 PM

Only in America is someone given something for nothing and decide they need to sue because they don't like the deal they are getting.

Sure you can sue. Anyone can sue for anything. But if you win I'll be pretty disgusted.

m00d · 04-07-2004, 12:57 PM

pay them
the last people on earth you want on your back are student loan/ aid people. you will be fucked . they have incredible powers to garnish wages, withhold federal benefits, freeze your accounts, etc.
dont fuck with them. it's like some comedian said , "if they put the student loan people in charge of finding Osama Bin Laden , he'd be caught."
