I'm posting this under a sock for obvious reasons.
I left school back in 2009 without graduating. For several years, I couldn't pay on my student loans, or could only pay a payment or two at a time. I was behind on almost all of them, but had worked it out to prevent default... or so I thought.
I tried logging on to my Howdy portal to pull up an unofficial transcript (which I need for a new job). Blocked due to a hold.
Turns out, I wasn't paying an emergency tuition and fee loan.
It's been sent to collections, and I apparently owe (pay off amount) $15.5k. Obviously I don't have this much money.
What can I do?
Does A&M do payment plans? Do they "settle" a loan balance? What are my options?
edit to add: And I was looking into refinancing my other loans with Sofy. Is that an option with this?
