I keep getting letters from the student loan people claiming I owe thousands for a loan to go to college in the mid 1980s.
I never received a check and never had a student loan.They said I have to prove that. How can you prove something you never did ?
The dead giveaway is after I finished my college courses the college kept sending me bills for current book fees and different stuff. I wasn't enroled , someone was using my ss # and info to obtain fraudalent student loans. I think it was in the admin office.:mad:

You have proof of how you DID pay for things while in college, don't you? You have bank statements from that time, don't you? If you don't, your bank does. The university has records of how your accounts were paid when you were in college, right? The loans people have records of where the student loan checks were sent, right? If they weren't sent to you or to your bank or to your university accounts, you should be OK. There is always a paper trail in these circumstances. If someone else used your financial information to get a student loan the money was sent somewhere other than to you and the loans people will know (throught looking at their own records) where the money was sent. They need to look into this and if you are innocent you have nothing to fear. Good luck.
