Collection agency threatening to garnish my wages
Hello all. I took a few classes from the scam artists known as University of Phoenix. I dropped my two classes after a few weeks and the school notified me that they had returned my federal loan in full and that I had to pay $2210 in full immediately. I sent them a dispute letter and within days they turned me over to a collection agency. This collection agency (Reliant) left a message with a co-worker with a phone number to call them back. The person from collections also said if I had any question I could speak to the woman who does payroll for my company. (They mentioned her by name.) When I called the agency back, they said that my wages could be garnished if I didn't pay the amount in full. The woman also said that they had sent a fax to my payroll department in the attention of (payroll person's name) and repeated the company's payroll fax number to me! What can I do about this?

The key is you attended "a few weeks". You are going to have to read the following and do some research. On what grounds are you disputing? As a general rule with schools, when you enroll in a school, you agree to abide by their withdrawal policies. If in fact all of your financial aid was returned, you more than likely owe this money in full immediately.
