The college does not take your money, the government takes it and gives it to the agency that has filed a claim against you. If you have received aid for school and did not pay it back, then there you go. It is legal. It is in the fine print when you apply for student loans.

no you don't have to, unless taxes have been withheld and you want a refund.

They will need to win a judgment in order to garnish your wages. \n\nFurther action means they may sue you. \n\nYou should attempt to settle or structure repayment before it gets to that point. \n\nHere is a good resource to help you: http://www.expert-credit-advice.com/debt_settlement_service.htm\n\n\nHere are the garnishment procedures listed by state: http://www.expert-credit-advice.com/wage_garnish.htm \n\nAgain, it would be wise to do something before they do!

i think if you list them on your resume the employer couldn't get that kind of info anyway... your former employer could only say how much you make, your duties, and your date of employment... that's how it is in arkansas at least...  now if it was because of a crime i think that your former employer would have to tell that...

When you file, you list all of the debts that you want have. If you do not list it, it will not be taken away. I believe that they are not supposed to garnish your wages as long as your bankruptcy went through, but I'd talk to your lawyer.

No.  A student loan is federal debt.  You can't bankrupt on it.  They can garnish wages, and take your tax returns if you're delinquent enough.

If your talking about an application fee generally those are not refundable. If it is tuition then I would just make a huge fuss about it until they gave in and just gave you your money back to shut you up. However if you didn't let them know you weren't attending and didn't try to get your money back until in the middle of the semester than it is your fault and they don't have to give it back.

As an individual you are considered a cash basis taxpayer.  Therefore, you can deduct expenses only in the year paid unless an exception is given by the IRS.  An example of an exception is that you can make an IRA contribution for the previous year in the year the tax return is prepared if the contribution is made prior to the due date of the return.  There is not an exception to the rule for tuition payments.  So, sorry, the mess up cost you an additional credit.

Yea they can. States laws are different but here in Alabama.  First they will serve you with papers.  You can either go before the judge and plead your case (which I recommend) or do nothing and the company will get default judgement on you.  Once they get that after 14 days they can file for garnishment and take 25% of your paycheck until the debt is paid.\n\nGo in front of a judge and plead your case.  Its the only shot ya have.

First they will take your federal tax returns. Then, if you still don't pay off the balance, they will garnish your wages. 15% of your take-home pay. You must pay the principal of the debt (the amount you actually borrowed) plus the finance charges & any "collection/administrative" costs they accrue, trying to get you to pay the debt.

Whether a creditor can or cannot garnish your wages is governed by the laws in your state.  Each state has enacted laws setting forth which property is protected from creditors and which property can be seized by creditors.  A few states do not allow any wage garnishment whatsoever, but even those states that do regulate how much can be garnished from a person's wages in order to allow that person to have something left over to live on, although most people have a hard time living on what is left over after their wages are garnished.  There is also federal legislation regulating wage garnishments.  Your particular state might follow the federal guidelines.\n\nNote that wage garnishment laws do not usually apply when you owe money to the state or federal government.  Therefore, even if you live in a state that prohibits wage garnishments, such as Texas, you can have your wages garnished to repay a student loan or child support. In fact, almost all states vigorously pursue money owed to them or to pay child support.\n\nCredit card companies, hospitals, debt collectors and others will also seek a wage garnishment to recover debt provided that it is legal for them to do so in the state where the debtor resides and the debt is sufficient enough to warrant a wage garnishment.

Unfortunately, it does happen that some parents choose not to assist their students in paying for their education. One of the tenets of the Federal Student Aid system is that education expenses for an undergraduate student are to be paid through the collective efforts of the student and his or her family.  The government presupposes that your parents will help you out. This is why most undergraduates (unless they are older than 24, married, have children, are veterans, orphans or wards of the court, or already have a degree) are considered DEPENDENT. The government itself doesn't make exceptions to this rule, but it does grant a Financial Aid Office the power to overturn a student's dependency status.  You will need to speak to the Financial Aid Office of any schools to which you are applying.  Your school will likely have a specific policy in place for dealing with such matters.  \n\nKeep in mind that such changes are uncommon and sometimes hard to get.  You might try telling your parents that filling out the FAFSA in now way obligates them to pay.  The Financial Aid that you may receive as a result of having filed the FAFSA is yours, including the loans.  Filing the FAFSA is nothing like becoming a co-signer.  They are not on the hook for anything.

Yes. Many schools's FAFSA deadlines are early in the year (February of March), before many people have done their taxes.  It is common practice for schools to have students estimate their income/asset information using the prior year's tax returns and/or year-end paystubs. Keep in mind, however, that you should correct these numbers (online at www.fafsa.ed.gov) once you DO file your taxes (particularly if the numbers are very different).  \n\nStay honest, though! The government often selects FAFSA filers for review in a process called "Verification."  In this process, your school can request copies of your current tax returns; they will then compare your tax information with your FAFSA data.  If the numbers on your FAFSA don't match up, they have the right to change ("correct") them in their capacity as Financial Aid Administrators.\n\nGood luck!

Yes they can.  My father found out this the hard way after never paying his child support.  As a result until all of that past due support is paid up (plus interest) his SS check is being garnished.  He also has young daughter that they are hitting him for now until she gets out of school.

No they are not taxed but you have to report on the FAFSA as untaxed income.

If you file the FASFA, there is a selection that states "have not filed yet" or something to that nature.  I usually file for financial aid before I do my taxes and it works out, even without knowing my tax information.  So filing your taxes is not a necessary prerequisite to filing your financial aid.  Your school, however, may ask for copies of your taxes when you finally do file.

Yes you can and if you don't they will take it out of your state tax refund
