"I think I got scammed! Last year I applied for this student loan forgiveness that was advertised all over Facebook. I was told that I'm eligible for the plan. After paying an upfront fee, I just got a bill from fedloan asking for repayment. Help!"
"I obviously love the game but I’m so passionate about how we can help grow the game. Grow and showcase the personalities and the fabulous women that make up the WNBA and I just don’t see a better fit for myself."
