College Raped my Bank Account

>>18093143
To clarify, the money from the state can ONLY go towards tuition + fees, so the money that otherwise would have covered my ass just fine is just floating in the ether

The university refuses to do jack shit about their fucking mistake and basically told me to go fuck myself when I said I wanted to speak to someone in charge

>>18093151
If I'm lucky, and that's a really big if, I can use my tax return to cover me until the end of the semester

Welp, guess I should've expected this...

>>18093151

Sue your university?

They can't just say "fuck you" when it's their mistake.

>>18093219
They certainly made it seem like they could. When I was on the phone disputing it they were like "Sorry we can't make any changes this far into the semester" (It had been a month in by the time they even realized they fucked up)

Their original excuse was that the "weather" kept them from processing shit on time

(Forgot my name, whatever)

Fellow blindfag. Sue under the ADA guidelines. I hate them but this is the kind of shit that law was made for.

>>18093143
why are you spending 1400+ on rent if you don't earn shit?

>>18093248
Because his dumb ass went to college and colleges overcharge more than goddamn hospitals nowadays.

OP, go to a trade school or learn to love sitting on ass once you go blind because this is a sighted world (and I say this as a 20/400 cyclops since the day I was born.)

>>18093245
Any specifics on this? Also I can't necessarily afford a lawyer

>>18093248
Because the loans I took out were supposed to cover that shit, but the college fucked it up because they give me no control over how my money gets spent

>>18093253
I wanted to go into game design or some bullshit but I figured since college would be free* I could do the thing I love instead

*pay all of your money all the time and blow all of your savings because fuck you

>>18093256
>Any specifics on this? Also I can't necessarily afford a lawyer
Nope. There are pro-bono lawyers and ADA lawsuits tend to settle out pretty goddamn quick so most lawyers wouldn't mind helping a cripple. It makes them look good. Know the cards you have. We've got the legit victim cards. I hate having them but if I were in your shoes, I'd use every one of them.

>I wanted to go into game design or some bullshit but I figured since college would be free* I could do the thing I love instead
Learn from your mistake and be glad you didn't have to do jailtime like I did. We cripples, as a breed, are too goddamn sheltered. What's your disease? Macular Degeneration by chance?

>>18093266
I'll see what my contact at the DSB says about suing

>Macular Degeneration by chance?
Nah, Retinitis Pigmentosa, it's a bitch

>kill the ass who told u youd get all those benefits
>get caught
>go to jail
>free food
>free housing
>no taxes
>free anal
>no more financial worries

Had a few RP kids in my old blind classes when I was in school. I was born 3 months early. RoP, hearing loss, asthma, and fibromyalgia. Remember, it can always get worse.

He'd better learn how to fight if he's going inside because able-bodies on the ins HATE us cripples. I had one fight and "lent" about $50 worth of commissary for the 8 months I was in. I won the fight and I didn't get beat up too badly once I paid a couple of people to protect me but it wasn't pleasant. Hell of an eye-opener though (no pun intended.)

One of my best friends is a preemie. No serious vision problems but a lot of those other things. It could be worse, but I wish it were better

>>18093298
I was born in 83 and got too much oxygen. All physical problems. My brother was born in 86 (also 3 months early) and got too little oxygen. He's eternally 12 years old. How bad did your best friend get hit?

>>18093303
Fibro and some other developmental stuff. Nothing super bad

>>18093143
What if you just stop paying them?

People get calls from college decades after finishing because they don't pay.

I have a debt from a hospital I ignore paying.

If you have no money what can you do... College is scamming everyone, books should NOT cost as much as they do, they should not even be updated that often, they only update them to say "you're required to buy this version" and charge you $200.

It's a scheme.
