University of Phoenix Ripped me off now I owe thousands , Internet

I started University of Phoenix in 2008. I attended for about 3 1/2 years for my bachelors degree in education. I needed time off for maternity and I left after completing my last class. After the time I took off for giving birth to my daughter I was told I missed the deadline to take my teaching cert. I had excellent grades and now because of a deadline I wasn't even in a class for I owe the school 2,000 dollars and the financial loans for 3 and a half years. The addition of a new family member was not treated fairly enough with the school. I am financially unstable and cannot afford to pay all these loans that are coming at me now.
