Sorry to hear that. I remember exploring some bootcamps back in the day, and there were some shady bootcamps almost enforcing students to sign that ISA program. I read the contract line by line and decided it was too stinky to sign. I found another bootcamp and actually negotiate

Yeah ISAs have a lot of benefits and a lot of problems, and where you land generally depends on your outcome.
The ISA regulation shifted and when they were branded as loans and I think that helped the perspective.
They seemed too good to be true - "I get free training and don't pay anything unless I get a job" when that wasn't entirely the case. It was valid in some cases, but it made it feel too risk-free.
