Withdrawing from school does not necessarily mean that your loan
didn't disburse. The best thing to do (assuming you haven't already)
is to go back to your school and ask to get a copy of your student
account. You should be able to track whether or not a student loan
actually disbursed. Often times loans disburse and a portion is
returned but a portion is kept at the school to cover expenses that
you may have occurred while you were enrolled.
If you never enrolled at all, it is possible (as long as you weren't a
first time borrower) that the loan disbursed prior to school starting.
If you never enrolled, it would have been your responsibility to
return the funds.
After reviewing your student account and ensuring that you never took
the loan, your next stop should be the Federal Student Aid Ombudsman
Office (http://www.ombudsman.ed.gov/) who will mediate on your behalf.
If by chance the loan did disburse, and you unknowingly used the funds
at your school or kept monies that disbursed directly to you, you'll
be held responsible to pay it back.
I hate to sound like a pessimist, but finding others in your situation
won't do much. You'll need to gather as much proof as possible that no
loans ever disbursed and contact the ombudsman office.
