    <x-flowed>
    We get some sort of paperwork from the sponsoring agency or company. We do
    not require the student to acknowledge the debt as their own. If the
    company defaults (maybe twice in my 15 years here) then we charge the student.
    I'd like to expand the scope of this and find out what schools are charging
    for this service? It costs us a lot of money to service the many Third
    Party Guarantees and we do not currently charge anyone for that service. I
    am looking at implementing some sort of service fee to perform the work
    required on this.
    Thanks...Pat
