"I received a call about a year or so after I moved in with my father from Great Lakes Lending saying that I was about to default on my $22,000 student loan. I, having no knowledge of taking out a loan, was absolutely dumbfounded. After calling the school, the lending institution, and various other entities for several days, I finally determined what had happened. The school that I attended falsified various documents in order to take out loans against students, even if they had scholarships which covered their tuition."

Unless you signed loan documents, they committed fraud. You should be able to find a pro bono lawyer to help you. Also, get in touch with other students they pulled this stunt on and see about a class action suit.
