county schools home study rip off bridgeport , Connecticut
in 1988 i attended county schools home study in dayton ohio .. i took hotel motel management... we were sent to bridgeport connecticut for training.... CS went door to door gathering clients on welfare SSI and low income.... WHen we got to Conn
we were there a short while and the school claimed there was no more funds and sent us home..... i got no diploma to prove i even went i could not graduate and i had to borrow money to come home.... I recieve a letter from GC Services in NOvemebr 2010 they are garnishing my wages and now the 23 year old loan that was 4,000 is now 12,000.... I need to hear from any one who attended county schools between 1988 and 1991..... all i know there was a law suit against them

But there may be a way out of it. I just received a letter from the US Dept. of Education concerning how to be forgiven of a student loan obtained by fraud, which is exactly what County Schools did! I suggest you look here:
studentaid.ed.gov/sa/about/announcements/corinthian#fraud-violations-state-law
It talks about a particular group that owned a bunch of schools, and I'm not sure that County Schools is one of them, but it's applicable to our situation- and any situation where a loan signature is obtained by fraud.
We might also be able to seek a class action dismissial. County Schools was one of three schools mentioned by name as a school having outright illegal or regulartory violations in the 1998 Higher Education Reauthorization Act:
2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/auditrpts/reauth98.html
where is says:
"The fall out from the participation of vocational correspondence schools still presents significant regulatory challenges. For example, the Department has had difficulty in enforcing the "closed school" discharge under section 437 of the HEA for nine vocational correspondence schools which were unable to provide accurate attendance data. Five of these nine correspondence schools had been audited or investigated by the OIG, and significant violations of law or regulation were found.
The Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), formerly the National Home Study Council, (the accrediting agency for the vocational correspondence schools), is now the accrediting agency for distance learning schools.
1. Facts about the DETC.
2. OIG audit report Audit of the Title IV Student Financial Assistance Programs Administered by County Schools, INC. Bridgeport, Connecticut, ACN 01-00001, dated April 1991."
Please respond to my own report on County Schools, so we may co-ordinate our efforts to regain our finacial reputation, credit rating, and our ability to receive federal financial aid to resume our studies with creditable institutions!
