I completed my 1st year, with every intention to complete the 2-yr. course. The newspaper announced that the school just got caught not renewing its accreditation, making all our course credits worthless. A class-act ensued, but the overflow attorney we went to and paid was no longer with the firm, had been arrested for drugs and jumped bail. His firm was looking for him, had no record of our payment being deposited, and claimed the receipt we presented was his personal one, not one belonging to the firm. My name was never included in the class-act suit, therefore, making me ineligible to re-enroll with the other students who got to re-take that year of classes for free. I refused to pay the student loan. IRS took over and took $1,200 of the $2,000 fee from my tax return, with the promise of high interest fees until I paid it off. <br>I went to another attorney who gave me some advise, which I have followed, but this still remains on my credit report for this useless education. Writing to the governor did no good, and IRS only continued to threaten. What can I do to get this debt relieved?</p>JamieLeeThu, 19 Mar 2015 14:01:33 -0000http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/world/52177450-68/parents-weight-obesity-child.html.csp#comment-300311044<p>Our local community government can't afford to house these children as it is. The foster list is not long enough, and many of those are worse situations for the child 's environment than what they came from in the first place. If they can find the money to do that, they certainly can find the money for a less-expensive, more sensible approach with a higher rate of better outcome for the child and parent. Group Parent-children classes on eating habits and exercise ordered from the Child Enforcement agencies. Add in some limited individual counseling for the parent and the child for a while.  I am the only one in my family of siblings with a weight problem, and it's well on it's way to recovery. It took counseling and my own determination to succeed and overcome this through proper eating and getting exercise.</p>JamieLeeThu, 01 Sep 2011 07:46:13 -0000
