<prompt> Human: Just checked my credit report a while ago and I noticed I had about 4k owed to a college housing company. I was attending college on 100 FAFSA with no help from parents. My understanding was FAFSA covers housing and tuition and I was told that with what I had left over from FASA each quarter, about 1k was used for books, food, ect. so about 400 a month. I was actually being charged about 900 a month or so and I was told after about 6 months that I had to start making payments and could not sign up for next quarter unless I started making payments. Needless to say, I had to drop college. But my question is; what can I do about the 4k that I am suppose to pay back? I was told FAFSA would cover the cost of housing and tuition. When I call FAFSA, they say contact the school, when I contact the school, they say contact FAFSA. The bill is now sitting with a collection agency and a big smudge on my CR. Any ideas what I can do about this?  <response>: FAFSA is a form you fill out Free Application for Federal Student Aid. You dont contact FAFSA. The FAFSA form is used to determine if you qualify for a variety of types of financial aid - Pell Grants, Subsidized loans, etc.
