      I applied for scholarships and financial aid online for a local community college I am attending. I'm sure Colorado Tech got my number from my scholarship applications online or something. Now I receive never ending calls from multiple numbers, no matter how many I block. I started answering and just saying "Stop calling me" and hanging up. Yet I still get about 2+ phone calls a day at the most inconvenient times - when I'm at work or WHEN I'M ASLEEP. I have no interest in attending, never have. The one person I talked to the first time they called was pushy, didn't stop asking questions when I told them to call back, and did not respect that I was ON MY WAY TO MY JOB. They talked over me. I am so done with these phone calls, it's spam and harassment. I have asked them to stop calling on multiple occasions and the calls seem to have become MORE frequent.

      I'm enrolled as of right ********** been having problems getting my Pell grants as well. They supposed to let me know whenever a payment is posted but I get absolutely "nothing". I've messaged the financial aid advisor, but he doesn't message back, now I'm checking out the ************* noticing that they've had issues & several complaints before I even enrolled. I'm checking with my lawyer ******* might be joining this lawsuit. It's a shame that we have people like these to deal with. I wish I had of checked them out beforehand, but I was caught off guard. I usually look up the reviews. I'm owed monies as of right ******* can't get any assistance. They think that they're getting away with being greedy & taking our money & pocketing it, but GOD sees all, knows all & they will repay!!
