<prompt> Human: Background: Went to JC on financial aide for a few years about 4 years ago. Some crazy stuff happened and I ended up having to quit school. Flash forward to now I check my bank account this morning and see that 240 of my check had been garnished by the Department of Education!!! I have recieved no notice or any requests to pay. But this is going to really hurt me financially if they continue to do this. What are my options?? This is CA btwAssistant: Did you ever pay back your loans? Your wages are being garnished to pay pack your student loans since you didnt do it voluntarily. Your options are pretty much zero at this point... I have a hard time believing you got no notice to pay, unless you just ignored all the communication you got. Human: I never took out any loans. I was given the federal financial aide pell grant and that was all. I worked through school... But I never finished my last semester. I had to move like 2 months before semester was over. And i have recieved absolutely no notice about wage garnishment.  <response>: What happens to my Pell Grant funding if I withdraw from a class or classes?The Pell Grant can be fractionally prorated in regard to your enrollment status, so if it changes before you have actually received any aid from a Pell Grant, the amount you receive will simply be altered accordingly by your schools financial aid office. If your enrollment status changes after you have received the proceeds of your Pell Grant, you will most likely have to pay back what the difference is, and if you dont you may risk having a Pell overpayment on your record, and this can make you ineligible for any sort of future federal aid.
