I am going back to school after a year off, do I have to pay back all school bills before returning?

Question

I went to a private college in Iowa for my freshman year of college. I transferred to a public university in Wisconsin my sophomore year because I could no longer afford private school. Upon transferring, I still had a large amount of loans to pay off from school in Iowa, but I didn't have to pay them off until I completed college. After my junior year in Wisconsin, I took a year off from school. Despite having loans and grants, I could not afford to pay for schooling anymore. So I'm now working a job to earn money and pay the Wisconsin school back. I would like to return to school again (at the same Wisconsin school as before). I know I have to clear bills at the Wisconsin school to be able to return to it. However I recently recieved bills from the school in Iowa. So my question is ..... do I have to pay off the school in Iowa too before I return to the one in Wisconsin?

By the way, my IQ is 127

Answer 1

You probably do sooner or later, and you signed an agreement to do so when you made the loan, which is legally binding. If they want to make life miserable for you, they can append your skip to your credit report even if they can't collect. But you should contact them rather than us, since we are blowing air, and they give you the straight poop.
