How to stop a college from taking my tax return?

back in 2016 i tried to go back to college. i dropped out the first time. i went to the financial aid office first and it was already a week into classes and ask them if i can still enroll since i already dropped out and don't have the money and would need financial aid. the girl there said that i should sign up now cause it was the last day to register for classes and file an appeal for financial aid. well the next week i was rejected to receive financial aid so stopped going to class. they still billed me for the whole semester though. i have 0 grades and no attendance in any of the classes i signed up for. now every year the college takes my entire refund to pay for this semester. i can't afford to pay it off and the number i owe keeps getting bigger because of interest. either way why should i pay for a semester of college i didn't go to and have 0 grades/ attendance for. i didn't officially withdraw from the semester because without receiving financial aid i didn't believe i was ever technically enrolled. 

is there some way to stop SUNY fredonia from taking my tax return every year and giving me another mountain of debt?

You will have to contact Department of Education or the agency that services your loans. We do not handle offsets.  This Turbo Tax article will provide more information on offsets.
