What to do if my school did not send off my loan infrmation in time?
During my last semester, I applied for myhad student loans with the school as I always done. After noticing a balance of my full tuition ($6043.39), I went and talked to the finance office. They told me that they made an mistake and did not send off my loans in time, and it was too late. So now I have this whole amount of money that I have to pay all at once or it’s going on my credit soon. I complained and called but all that they were willing to do is setup a payment plan that required me to pay a monthly amount to them with very harsh terms, along with my normal student loans. This just isn’t fair.

Unfortunately for you and many others what happens in life is not always fair. My suggestion is that you have a face to face meeting with the dean of students at your school to see what can be done to accomodate you such as reducing the harsh terms of the loan and the like. If such does not meet your approval then you need to go over the dean's head and have a meeting with the board of director's of the school to see what can be done for you.
The school should give you the same terms on what you owe as what you would have received had the loans been sent timely. I suggest that you consult with a consumer law attorney to assist you in your matter.
