            Complaint Type:
            Problems with Product/Service
            Status:
            Resolved
            In February 2018, I signed up for classes to help with my bookkeeping business. That same year in August of 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I called the university to seek a withdrawal from the school but they refused due to contractual agreement. I tried my best to pay what I could but my medication and other household bills were overwhelming. In June 2020, I filed for bankruptcy and the case was discharged. The education institution refused to honor the bankruptcy declaring it due to student loans. No loans were funded to me and to this day they are refusing to erase this from my report. I have student loans but this account isn't one of them. This is a creditor who refused to honor my bankruptcy. So I am displeased with them. I am living with MBC, and I wish that I never enrolled with them.
