I am asking this question on behalf of of someone.
In 1996, my friend applied for a SL with Climate Control Institute. He can't remember the exact date he started but it was somewhere around 10/1996.
He went to the school until around 1/1997. He told me that he was told he would get around $3500 after the fees was deducted. He never get anything, and the only loan check he remember signing was for around $1000 which $750 was for the books and the rest for something else.
So I did some researching online about that school and found this http://www.ed-oha.org/cases/2002-4-SA.html
Apparently the school was not giving the students their refund balance after they dropped out of school.
Then I found FSA online. http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DCS/forms.html I saw form Loan Discharge Application: False Certification ( Ability to Benifit)
#1 He had no diploma or GED before enrollment nor received one at the school. He wasn't even given a test before enrollment. The only test were giving were given on the student assignments in class.
Then on form (Disqualifying Status)
I know he had a criminal record at the time but we are not sure what it means by , (To meet certain requirements for employment in your state?)
He said he didn't fill out no application to get into the school. The only thing he signed was for the $1000 check, and the recruiter did all the rest.
