I was accepted at Al Collins before I finished High school, I was told that I would have to take out a loan each term for roughly $2,500. I figured I would owe like maybe 10,000 at the most. BUT after attending for five weeks they had already forced me to take out 4 loans for more than $2,500 each. After AL Collins I was homeless for about 2 years.
I am finally back on my feet as a secretery in Pine Grove, California. I feel that I was cheated and there is no way on my current pay that I could pay that money back. I got nothing but problems from that school. After attending there for a year, I needed some time off because my boyfriend had commited suicide.
I was gone for 5 weeks but not fully recuperated yet, but because I didn't come back at that time, I was kicked out. Now they say that I owe them over $25,000. There is no way I could pay it. I thought they were going to help me find a job. If there is an ongoing case against this school, I would love to be a part of it, otherwise I am going to have to file for bankruptcy at the age of 20. Another thing is that I was told that they were going to provide a place for me to live, and that was in my tuition, but they put me in a 2 bedroom apartment with 4 other people and told me I had to pay $295 a month to live there. All my roomates paid the same amount.
They made about $500 a month off every group of students. Apartments around Tempe are only like $400-$500 a month. Where did all that money go? I was ripped off bad and I want them to be paid back. I had to work nights every night after school and barely made my rent, minimum wage is $5.15 in Arizona.
