Financial aid mess! So humuliating

I filed for the fin. aid which covered Oct. 2007- Dec 2008. In Oct. '08 i postponed the last class first to Dec '08 then to Mar '09. I filed for the Loan Plus in Feb 2009. I was approved by the lender.

The school certified the Loan to cover the period Sep 2008 - 13th March 2009. The loan was linked to the FAFSA 2007-08.

In February '09 i sent am email asking to release the hold from the Loan Plus so the lender could disburse the money, but they replied with an email saying I had to post to the last class left uncompleted. I registered and completed the class. I call the Fin Aid office but i get no answers. I call the lender and they tell me the school changed the date of disbursement exactly the day after i completed the class.

I call the Fin Aid office and they tell me that i have to take another class, pay for it an then they will release the money.

They did not release the hold and i had to leave the school to pay for my bills looking for a second job.

Evidence:

Lender certification and school certifications;

Emails

Telephone calls recorded.
