Mom and Law Student?

My student loan application was denied last week. I was so upset I couldn't even write about it until it was somewhat close to being resolved. Why?. .. b/c of bankruptcy, default, a lien, judgement, string of credit card charge offs? umm No.... b/c of a library fine!! that's right $35.00 in unpaid library fines in a state I moved away from 4.5 years ago. Apparently when the federal government says "no open collections" they mean it! I have worked really hard to clean up my credit and I was able to get everything negative removed except for the library fines, since when did libraries become so freakin ruthless? So I had to call the library, pay the fine, and get them to write me a letter saying the matter has been settled. Luckily everyone I talked to was super nice, I miss Seattle (sometimes), and I got the letter. I faxed it today w/ a request for "reconsideration" and hopefully, fingers crossed this will be the end of it.... I HOPE!
