I wouldn't call myself a genius, but I AM pretty smart about these things because I've worked in higher education all my adult life.

I am well aware of the complaints about Kaplan and that's why I always recommend that students seek out another school.  These for-profit schools are making a killing off students who don't know any better.

ECMC is the company that services your students loans. So it's not Kaplan that's adding in the extra $8000.  That's the interest that has accrued since 2004 when you stopped attending school and entered repayment status.

My last question is, why do you think this debt should be removed from your record?  You attended school and probably received a refund of excess loans during the semester. You KNEW you owed the money and you didn't pay it back. The debt is fair, and the reporting is fair.

It's time to man up and face your responsibility like the rest of us.

One important piece of information is missing - who was sending the bill for $200? Did it come from the school or the student loan company?

When you enrolled, your student loans were deferred. You don't have to pay them back until 6 months after you complete school.  As long as you're enrolled, the loans remain in a deferred status.  Once you leave school you have a six-month grace period, then enter repayment status.

If this was really in 2003-2004 (not a typo?) then interest was accruing on the unsubsidized loans while you were in repayment status.

Typically, if you default on your student loans the government can keep any tax refund you might be entitled to. So I'm wondering if the 2003-2004 is really 2013-2014...? Otherwise you would have known before now that you were in default.

In any event, you owe the money. Pay up.

However, that wasn't a typo. I attended the school for about a year and a half from 2003. I read another complaint about this school and they were saying the $200 was for internet access. You were right about that part it was coming from another source. However, that still doesn't explain why I was charged an extra $8,000 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. I guess you'd have to read about the fraudulent practices of KAPLAN to get the just of my issue, which is they do charge falsely, even though the $200 dollars was explained.
