Warning: this case left me at a loss for words. It’s shocking how far the person in the story went with lies.

It was late in the afternoon.

Madison College received a call from an angry Bart demanding to get transcripts.

Bart: You know I had tried to work with Daniel Speith to see if he can get through the information. I don’t know if he’s with you guys anymore, but….

It just seems like the ball keeps getting dropped.

Customer Service Rep: Okay. I mean that’s… it’s pretty easy to request a transcript.

Yeah, but I don’t see that you were admitted into any program.

Bart and Krista Met in Wisconsin

Bart and Krista Halderson met in the 1990s in Wisconsin, USA.

Krista was in her twenties. She worked as an interior manager at the Boston Store. Bart was also in his twenties, and he was hired as a clerk at the same store.

Bart and Krista discovered that they had a lot in common and shared a love for home design.
