At age 50 I have decided to go back to college. I filled out the Federal Aid form and recieved a print out from my financial aid office stating that because I am in default of a student lolan I cannot recieve federal aid.
I last attended college in 1977 or 78 and to the best of my knowledge have never applied for a student loan. If I were indeed in default why have I never been contacted? Why haven't my tax returns been withheld?
There was an address to contact in Texas, but before I make any contact I would like to know how I should proceed. Much is riding on this as without the aid my chances of completing my degree are slim. Incidenatally, I am currently unemployed so I would be entitled to a significant amount of aid.
