      I consulted with a representative of College Network in my home who I formed me they have an LVN to RN BSN program known as a flex program in August of 2012. The program as explained by the rep that I could complete nursing classes at my pace and there was no timeframe to complete the program. And this is catered to nurses who have to work and attend school. The rep assisted me in applying for financial aide. Then I began my classes in September 2012. The entire class itinerary and access to completing the classes was on their website portal. I was working through my classes for ver the course of a couple of years. Then one day I did not have access to any of my classes online. I could not even call them to find out the issue as their phone number on their website was not working any longer. I was trying to find out how to continue my classes to no avail. Now fast forward to 2017, I began receiving notices in the mail to pay back student loans to southwest financial. I need to find out how to file a lawsuit against College Network as they did not pay back the money on the loan as they went bankrupt in 2017.
