]]> Comment on Attack of the school loans by PaulGuise http://paulsrants.com/2007/01/attack-of-the-school-loans/#comment-29 PaulGuise Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:24:25 +0000 http://paulsrants.com/index.php/20070130/attack-of-the-school-loans/#comment-29 Turns out that things did not go in my favor. I had to end up paying $1600 to the school itself through payments. About 8 months ago they sold all their collections accounts to a 3rd party that started charging me interest. I promptly told them that isnt going to happen and eventually they gave in and took my no-interest payments. For Sallie Mae though, Westwood would not give back the money that was owed to them. So I am stuck with $6000 in debt for them. The whole process is fucked regarding Westwood. You cannot get a hold of their finance people when you need to (most times not at all). I had to go through Bud Rockwell ( then president of the school, he was replace about 6 months ago) to get them to even call me back. This whole long ordeal cost me not only the money I needed for the down on a house, but also the credit rating I needed for same. Does that cost seem fair considering I only attended the school for less than 3 months? Turns out that things did not go in my favor.

Your tag cloud function fit what we needed to do for the site, so it worked out just right. I'm sure there are other scripts out there that perform a similar function, but yours fit right inline with how things were already structured with our tags and I only had to drop the script on the server, make the one-line reference and I was done. I tweaked the CSS just for specific site use, but other than it was a no-brainer. Thanks for putting together a easy to use script. Paul,
