They'll (My School) sue me?


I took two courses @ a university online. I withdrew during the next two courses, leaving me with a balance of 2000, The collections department say they can only take $500 a month. I have no job, live under my parents house hold, Can't get a personal loan, Can't get a co-signer, and the company will NOT work with me. Will they sue? Will they garnish my taxes, and when I get a job, will they take that from me also?? More importantly, am I gonna go to jail? My dad is going to talk to his attorney, but I want answers now.
What else can I do? Do you know anything about this situation?

My dad has an attorney, because he's filing bankruptcy- Yea we're horrible people- we borrow what we can't afford to pay back. I quit the online school, because they made a false statement saying that I was a psych major, when they didn't really offer the degree, and I was taking business courses. I don't have a job, because I have no car, and noone is hiring within walking distance. Why am I explaining myself to you people?

Try to work with them on a payment plan that is something you can afford. Technically, they can due you for it, but they won't spend money on that unless they're sure they can't get it from you some other way. And when they decide to sue you, trust me, you'll know.

You definitely can't be sent to jail ... they stopped putting debtors in jail like in medieval times. Plus, if everyone who owed money went to jail, most of the country would be there.

The school will most likely turn the account over to a collection agency, who will then harrass you incessantly. I don't think that 2k is enough for them to sue over. There's no "debtors jail" anymore, don't worry about that.

If you can afford an attorney, why don't you just pay the bill and avoid further damage to your credit.

If you went to university you would think that you are smart enough, or at least old enough to know that you can't go to jail because it is circumstantial. File for bankruptcy if you have to. And only 2000 dollars, in 500 increments, you'll have it paid off in no time. Why did you drop out of university and not get a job and still mooch from your parents? Helloooo?

Get a part-time job. You can deliver pizzas at night and probably make a grand a month doing that. You can have this $2000 knocked out in no-time. It's better than the hassle of trying to argue with debt collectors over it, and it's a whole lot cheaper than a lawyer would be.

No one's getting sued over this, but you do need to pay the outstanding debt.
