What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
In 2002 I attended a technical college for roughly three months before I had to quit. I filled out the financial aid application and submitted my tax return of the previous year prior to starting classes. I was told; however, that we wouldn't get a response until after classes had already started. So I went. Nothing ever came of financial aid. I was asked to provide my tax return once more; which I did, but for whatever reason, it kept getting pushed back and put off. After the first semester, I was handed a bill for $4,600 and told it needed to be paid. That's when I dropped out.
The school recently changed hands and I would like to go back now and finish what I started. I contacted them and was given the contact info for the company which I still owe. When I contacted them, the amount is now $5,500 and I was told I could pay it in full now or make payments, but either way, I would not be able to go back to school until the account is at $0.
I'm not at all looking to skip out on what I owe. I was just wondering if there's any legal route that would allow me to both pay the debt on a schedule but also allow me to attend college at the same time. Is that possible?
