Law school dropout auctions off own name on eBay to pay student loans

An enterprising law school dropout is auctioning his own naming rights on eBay to pay his outstanding education loans.

Jason Madsen says he was forced to quit school after his bad credit stopped him from borrowing enough to finish his degree. Now, for the highest bidder, Madsen will change his name to just about anything within reason.

“I, Jason Madsen, will legally change my name for two years to whatever the highest bidder wants,” explains the former law student in his eBay listing. “If you want my first name to be ‘Bob’s Supermarket’ and my last name to be ‘.com’ I’m cool with that, or if you want the first to name to be an entire business name — whatever works.”

Madsen completed his first year at Charlotte School of Law. He was “doing well” academically, he says, and passing all his classes. However, he ran into what he calls insurmountable financial aid difficulties before his second year began.

In a nutshell, Madsen relates in the eBay listing, his credit score prevented him from qualifying for enough financial aid to continue paying the bills.

“My Grad Plus Loan was denied due to adverse credit,” he says. ”I now find myself saddled with a huge amount of debt without anything to show for it. I don’t want to be an indentured servant to the Department of Education for the rest of my life.”
