I attended IADT in July with federal grants. I am disabled and qualified for free education grants through OVR. I was told that I would not be paying for anything. After 2 months of living in the housing they provided at Washington Plaza on Centre Ave.in downtown pittsburgh, I moved to the southside into my own apartment with others I met in college.
When I had received a letter stating that I owed $1687 for housing after being enrolled for 8 months, I found out about the loan. IADT had signed a federal loan in my name for "collegiate housing" though sallie mae in 3 installments of $2685 each. I left the school immediately before they could disperse the other 2 loans that were waiting to come. I still owe $1687, which does not seem like a lot of debt, but it has been in default for 5 years because I am unable to pay it, due to being on disability. I dont even believe it is right for me to pay for something I did not even agree to or sign for in the first place.
I have since been trying to enroll back into school at a place that isnt going to lie and deceive its students, but since my loan is defaulted I am unable to qualify for any further funding until this is resolved.
Are there any options for me? Are there any class action lawsuits against IADT?
Please email me at with any information.
