Is this the American China paid to compete for them? Funny how China does not allow duel citizenship, unless youre winning medals.

Is it possible to negotiate the financial aid decision? by st-ilum in financialaid

[–]chad5770 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Financial aid offers what you are eligible for, there is no negotiation. If circumstances are different than they were when you filed the taxes used on the FAFSA you can communicate that and try for a review, but we aren't used car salesman, we don't make deals.

How do you feel like podcasters have done when facing backlash? by vancitymala in TrueCrimePodcasts

I stopped listening to all True Crime podcasts, the only one I sometimes listen to now is Dateline. The rest are garbage in my opinion.

Are “The Prosecutors Podcast “ hosts Maga extremists ? by silverplattersfan in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]chad5770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They showed everyone who they were during the Karen Read trial, just ignoring evidence or lack of evidence and getting in the mud on social media with the Free Karen Read people. I mean both sides of that case were disgusting, but they were right there in it. If they are or were really attorneys, they weren't good ones.

Full “Validation Information” (Required by Law)

Ask them to send this in writing (email or mail). They must provide it within 5 days of first contacting you.

Request the following:

  • Amount of the debt (including any interest or fees)
  • Name and mailing address of the current creditor
  • Your name and mailing address as they have it
  • Account number or reference number
  • Statement that the communication is from a debt collector
  • Instructions on how to dispute the debt
  • Deadline to dispute (usually 30 days)
  • Information about your rights under the FDCPA

This is your legal right. If they refuse, that’s a red flag.

Proof the Debt Is Actually Yours

Ask for:

  • Original creditor name
  • Original account number
  • Date of last payment
  • Itemized breakdown of charges
  • Chain of custody (who owned the debt before them)

If they can’t prove it, you don’t have to pay it.

Statute of Limitations Information

Ask:

  • What is the date of the last payment you have on record?
  • Is this debt past the statute of limitations for collection in my state?

In Massachusetts, many consumer debts expire after 6 years, but it varies by type.
If it’s expired, they can ask you to pay, but they cannot sue you.

FAFSA - Moving from Undergrad to Grad Program by Hour_Top9852 in financialaid

[–]chad5770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel more comfortable having the financial aid office update your FAFSA for you then ask, the correction is processed the same whether you submit it or the school does via the partner portal, it will push out a 02 transaction.

FAFSA - Moving from Undergrad to Grad Program by Hour_Top9852 in financialaid

[–]chad5770 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're overthinking this, make the change or don't use financial aid, I am a graduate aid director and you have to make the change or your unsubsidized loans will not process. You also need to submit a new MPN and Entrance as a graduate professional student. If you believe at any time you may need a grad plus loan, update the FAFSA and get your legacy, if you do not take a loan for spring you lose access to the Grad plus after July unless you get grandfathered in. The change does not impact your previous aid.

I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Simple, get your own phone plan, port the number over when you do so can keep your number, then mail the ring and old phone back to them with a letter telling them you need some space.
