Since you are talking about it, I have a serious problem and need help.
My oldest son got a partial scholarship for football at a D3 college. (he should have gotten full ride at D1, but that's another story…)
So we have to pay $20,000 a year. Here is the problem. I lost my job after 20 years 3 years ago. At the time, we almost lost our house (they put us in foreclosure after 2 missed payments, $2000 a month…..)
Anyway, we were forced into bankruptcy to save our house, which I fought so hard to keep.
Now, we cannot get a loan at all because of the bankruptcy. (it literally saved us from being on the street; we followed lawyers suggestions). I am not proud of it, but it was our only solution at the time, and we are now fighting hard to come back from it.
So NO BANK will allow us to borrow for his college. And HE CAN'T get loan because he has no credit, so he needs a cosigner. Well my spouse and I were denied as his cosigners
because of the bankruptcy! So he CAN'T get a student loan that he will pay back when he graduates!! We have NO ONE to ask; only one living parent and there is NO WAY we can ask her.
We inherited a little bit of money that we keep in savings now for emergencies when in-law died of cancer. We used that to pay for his first year, but the money is running out!
HELP……please!! Are there any anons who have any advice to help us? (So sorry this is off topic but I have no one to turn to, and it is too embarrassing to talk to family/friends about it IRL).
Again sorry OT.
