Hey all. I’ll try to make this short. Went to college in 2009/2010 and I didn’t make the best decisions and essentially flunked out. Took some time off and I’m trying to get back into school now. It’s just a tech school. Because of my academic suspension, I’ve had to go through the appeal process. I’m one step away from completing this process and the only thing that I have left to do is get my transcripts.
I took out a loan for what I thought would be a full year. Since I quit going, the loan needed to be paid immediately. It went into default because of my bad decisions. About a two years ago, I was able to get it out of default and away from a collections agency. I’m on a repayment plan where I make monthly payments. It’s a small fee monthly, but they’re working with me based on income.
I now have to request my transcripts from the school. They have unofficial ones that I can access, but I’ve been told the official ones are the way to go. I’ve heard that I would have to pay the full amount of the loan before the official ones are released. I’m wondering how that is possible if the point of a loan is to pay back as you go because you don’t have the full amount right now…I’m also repaying monthly, so does that help?
