Hobo Stick <| sep |> I never signed anything , I just applied for grants through FASFA online . From what I understand the grant money goes to the school and they pay me out the excess , which apparently is to be used to help with schoolrelated expenses , books , parking pass , etc . I received one check for ~$ 750 from the school toward the beginning of the semester and then that second check for $ 4 . 00 several weeks later , the one they put a stop payment on . I don ' t think I have a loan , I think they screwed up and gave me too much grant money and want it back , but I don ' t understand how that happened . I had to drop a class that didn ' t start until the middle of the semester , but they had told me the grant payment for that was separate and would come later , which jived with what I received the previous semester . Yeah I don ' t know when I will be filing taxes or getting a regular job again , to work minimum wage in an area as expensive as I live its just not worth it , you ' ll work every waking hour and still never get ahead . I let a parking ticket for more money than this go to collections and nothing happened , it ' s been 6 years and my credit score was just under 800 last I checked , even though I don ' t have any use for credit . I mean if they can prove that I actually owe the money I will try to pay it , but I ' m gonna need some sort of basic apology or at least an explanation of what happened and where the breakdown was in this system .
