Me and my entire family (three children) are Autistic. (Verified by a medical specialist).
When will the Department of Education step in on my behalf and the behalf of the financial calamity caused to myself and my children, due to the fraud of Westwood College's Scam??
Where is the Department of Education and Department of Justice to enforce the law that is already on the books? Somebody, out there, please help my family!!!
Not only myself, but I have three children, officially diagnosed with autism (one with PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified) and the other two, diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. Both conditions are on the Autism Spectrum.

The Legal Question remains, "Did you understand what you were signing with Westwood College?"
ANSWER: No, I did not. Their sales-pitch language obscured the fine details. I did not understand what I was signing, and it was all done over the phone and like an Autistic person would, I blindly trusted them and took their word at face value.
When will the Department of Education step in, and save me from the predatorial scam perpetrated by Westwood College and Sallie Mae?
The American Medical Association states :
Mental Capacity and Contracts
People with mental illness or a degenerative mental disease have special protections under the law when entering into contracts or other binding documents.

"Certain requirements must be met before a legal contract-be it for property, goods, or services-is valid and enforceable. There must be at least two parties to the contract, both of which must have the capacity to enter into the agreement; that is, each party must understand what he or she is entering into and the consequences of doing so. If a person who does not have this capacity signs the agreement, it may be voided.
Several conditions circumscribe the capacity to enter into a legal agreement. If one of the parties is a minor, the contract may not be enforceable because minors are legally presumed to lack capacity for contracts, even if the particular minor has understood the terms. Adults are generally presumed to have capacity to enter into a contract [4], but this rule is not absolute.
There are two major exceptions to the presumption of an adult's legal capacity, one of which is being intoxicated when the agreement was made because intoxication can affect judgment. The second exception to legal capacity is mental illness or mental defect [5]. Historically, this exception intended to protect individuals who were developmentally disabled or insane. Today, the category has been expanded to include those suffering from degenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's, that may affect their cognitive abilities."

IT IS CALLED
EXPLOITATION.
When will the federal law be enforced, and all money Westwood College Swindled me and my family out of, reimbursed?
