Independence University has called non stop to collect a loan they created after I graduated and truly closed. They have now placed it on my credit report. The school has been closed for years now!

Independence University keeps contacting me asking for payment on a past due balance for 2015. I never signed anything or agreed to private loans from them. I only used federal aid. I attended for one week and dropped out because I was taking irrelevant classes that had nothing to do with my degree. I received a letter in the mail today stating they were going to send my account to collections and report to the credit bureaus. I also had this debt discharged in my chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2020.

I studied at Independence University and have a student loan from the government. I also paid $100 monthly directly to Independence University and received an email with the payment amount. After closing, they also claimed that I should continue to pay. I asked for documents on the authenticity that I owe them money, but they did not provide anything. Independence University doesn't call me anymore after asking about documents. But today I received a letter saying that I owe money. Тhis is a letter from their school the letter does not state the amount but only that I owe them and they can destroy my credit history and can send my loan activity to the various credit bureaus and their number is (877) 648-1614 where I need to call right now. I didn't call them and I don't want to call them. I want to know if I really owe them officially and what I should do about it. And how can I get rid of them since I have an official student loan from the state where I know exactly what I owe, but it has nothing to do with them. But they claim that I still owe them.

I have attended College America in Arizona before moving to Virginia. Nonstop receiving calls from a 877-535-0017 number with tons of other numbers that I cant recall its a lot of (602) and when I search up where this number is coming from all I see from google is "Scams" I would like these numbers to quit calling me, they call early in the 8 AM morning til 7 PM I already contacted FASFA to a certain aid and for some reason I was told this number 877-535-0017 is a "Private Student Loans" which I never heard.

I continuously get harassing phone calls from 877-535-0017 multiple times a day even after being asked to be removed from the call list. This is becoming harassment and I would like to look into compensation for such.

I took a few of the courses through Independent for graphic design and was told that the programs needed were to be provided. Well I had to pay for each program out of pocket to even do the homework and half the time it wasn't the version needed. The computers had viruses on them before I got to use them once and according to them it wasn't their problem to fix it. So when I dropped out they waited over a year to contact me from about five different numbers including text messages saying that I needed to pay a bunch of money by a certain date. The 800-663-1162 calls 2-3 tines a day and leaves a message but the 877 one just calls and leaves nothing.

I took a few course through Independence university and then stopped shortly after I started because of working more hours and their accreditation was in jeopardy. They continuously call from this and other numbers and will not stop. They also stopped the program I was taking so I couldn’t even return to finish.

I took Graphic Design courses from Independence University...the best thing I got out of it was a Macbook. During my final year I had to repeat some courses due to a medical emergency and a death in my family. I contacted my advisor and was told that since the doctor did not declare that I was the ONLY person who could take care of my ailing parents, and that the death in the family was not my own, that they would not take the class failures off my transcript and I would have to pay for the repeats. Took and passed the repeats and got into my final month and my final class. Two weeks in, I log in to do my class work for the day and find that they changed the course and I was again repeating one of the classes I had just passed! Then sent me a notice that I was in danger of failing and would be "kicked out". I was kicked out..told them they wouldn't see one penny from me until they conferred my degree. No degree, no money. They did not provide the service, they should not be paid for it.

I am getting constant calls from them. No messages are left but they call during business hours when I’m unable to answer because I am at work. It’s annoying and harassing and just is a horrible reminder of a time of my life I’m trying to move on from.

I have been out of school for 9 years, and just this week have started getting call after call saying that College America has important information to discuss with me. I have no debt with them, but do because of all the loans I was forced to take out to cover the over priced programs. In 3 days they have called my phone 11 times in a week, and my husband's phone 7 times. He was not my husband when I went to school, and he has nothing to do with Independence University at all.
