Can A School Withold A Transcript On A 23 Yr Old Debt?if You Have Paid All Your Student Loans. School Balance?
All my direct student loans are paid in full and schools says I just owe them 600.00. Can i still apply at a college without this transcript? I have no money to pay this..

What is the debt for? They can withohold the transcript if you owe them, and you will need a transcript to be accepted into any other accredited school, so you should contact the debtor and see if they can reduce the amount or offer a plan where you can pay it off over time.

Ask the school what this debt is from. At many schools you can charge things like books and supplies from the bookstore to your student account with the school. This is separate from your student loans which came either from Uncle Sam or a private lender. I’m sure the school will be able to tell you what the bill is for. If you still believe this is not a legitimate bill ask what their process is to dispute a charge. It may be a difficult process, but if you owe the school they will hold onto your transcript until they get their cash.
