What is the name of your state? PA
I do not know under what category this falls under, but here goes. I was employed with a big company from 1996-2001. In 1999, a business college came to my place of employment to enroll employees in a Business Administration course for an Associates Degree. We were encouraged to do this by our manager and assured that the company would pay 1500./yr for us to attend classes. I submitted the form by fax to the HR department and was approved for the classes. I was told tuition would be paid provided I maintained a C average or better. I was under the understanding it would be paid directly to the school upon receipt of my grades.
I never completed the course although I did attend two classes. I faxed my grades (4.0) to the HR department and received an acknowledgement. I never heard anything more from the school or HR so I assumed everything was taken care of.
I was terminated in 2001 and recently tried to get a copy of my transcripts from the school I attended so I could complete the course somewhere else. They will not release my transcripts because 1500. is still owed to the school under my name, not my former employers'.
I cannot complete admissions at my new school without the transcripts and I do not have 1500. to send them. I have left many messages with the HR department and they ignore my voicemails. I feel they are responsible for this, but my future is hanging in the balance. Any suggestions or thoughts?
