I'm posting this in the desperate hope that someone on here can give me some advice. I need help and no one can help me.
In September, I was expecting two large checks in the mail for an amount of over $6000 dollars in loans and grants from m schools financial aid office. The checks never came.
I checked back with the school every week for a month.
Finally, they agreed to cancel payment on the checks and send new ones. I begged them to let me pick them up at the office, so I wouldn't have to worry about them getting lost in the mail, or whatever, but they said that wasn't allowed. Again, I confirmed my mailing address.
The new checks were sent out 4 weeks ago. They still haven't arrived. I do not have the money for rent.
Desperate, I found relatives who VERY GENEROUSLY offered to lend me $1000 until I got the situation worked out. They sent out a check for me. Like the other check, that check never arrived.
I'm receiving election postcards in the mail at this address. So it's not like the post office doesn't know I live here.
I went to the post office. The supervisor there printed me out a piece of paper with my name and apartment number to put on the mailbox. This was useless, because my name and apartment number are already clearly labeled on the box. It's a locking mail box. I've lived here for 2 years.
To my knowledge, none of the checks have been cashed, they're just never arriving.
I have no idea what to do now. No one can help me, everyone's blowing me off. The fuckers at the post office and financial aid office couldn't care less about the fact that because of someone else's fuck up, I'm in very very very serious financial trouble.
Please, for the love of God, can someone please tell me how to fix this? Who can I talk to? I am soon going to find myself homeless because of this situation, and I haven't done anything wrong. I have no idea what to do and it's killing me.

I'm so sorry, wish I could do anything for you!
I know they will hold it if you are on vacation or something.
We have two couches and a futon if you need.
