<p>I attended school in 2010 for a semester and failed. Took a year off and returned in 2012 spring senate. Inside good part time and got good grades. The next semester I was granted independent status and got a refund to help pay newspapers as I am I'm my own now. Due to family situations and work I left school past the withdraw date and failed again. I was told I would only have to pay the overage charge from the first semester. In 2013 they send me a bill for 3000 when the initial overage was 480. I was told that's all id have to worry about upon my dismissal. The 3000 is the 480 and a Stafford loan. I thought Stafford loans were paid to the government, so would I be paying the school directly for the loan along with the government? I don't get it can someone explain.</p>
<p>No, you only need to pay back the loan once. It sounds like perhaps the school advanced you the money for the loan . . . and then, when you withdrew, the loan was cancelled. So now the school is on the hook for the money it advanced to pay your tuition.</p>
<p>Contact your financial aid office and ask them to explain the bill they sent you.</p>
<p>I will contact them for sure. Im however sure the money was already there. I was thinking it may of been title 4 repayment but that wouldn’t make since either. As I completed 60% of the classes.</p>
