@Thomas_Gokey I appreciate that.
Sure, but debt cancellation doesn’t mean much for me, and I don’t know if I have any other options. I went to Keller to try and jump-start my career into IT management, and the benefits of the degree / claims of future earning potential I was sold on never materialized / the degree made zero difference.
I had to put personal savings and retirement savings on hold for 10 years to pay off $50K in student loans, and my earnings progression continued on the same path it had been on if I had never gone to Keller at all solely on my own work and willingness to better myself on my own after Keller.
So I’m out $50K and where I would have been anyway in 2020. Not only that - but now I’m 10 years behind on family savings and retirement, as well as missing out on the incredible returns for the last 10 years my retirement accounts would have had.
So there’s no debt for me to cancel - just well over $50K of opportunity and 10 years of time lost. I asked for the original $50K because the basis it was paid on turned out to be blatantly and intentionally false - and at least it’s something to help recover my financial life, even if it’s 30% or so what it would be today if Keller hadn’t sold me on their schooling.
BoE gave me the same denial as everyone else, though.
