She can always take a year off, work, pay down her debts and save… Are those last 8 credits available in online classes?
Your question was drawing the "Advance Fee Loan Fraud" scammers, so here are some tips for determining whether a loan is legitimate or a scam:
1) They don’t use a free email address (yahoo, gmail, hotmail, live, etc)
2) They have a secure website you can go to to fill out their application (this isn’t 100% … do a search with the company + fraud and also + scam… and check the BBB)
3) They don’t require ANY fees upfront. Any fees will come out of proceeds of the loan (scammers want their fees via Western Union or Moneygram)
4) They have a REAL address you can send mail to
5) They have a REAL phone number, not a cel phone
6) Look at their profile – created in the last 48 hours. Why? Because they get reported for this answers and yahoo deletes the accounts, so they just open a new one and send again until they are deleted once more!

Friend has 8 more credits to finish college and has bad credit…how can she get loans?
Where she attends the financial aid office is worthless. She has bad credit and NOBODY to cosign for her. What a waste off all her time if she can’t find financial help. School is telling her she’s out of loan money and grant money so she absolutely needs help. Anyone know where she can get loans with bad credit and no co signer for school?
