What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
Long story short. I took on-line courses. Completed all of the courses but never went to the actual graduation (it was in another state and it was stated that if I did not attend the actual graduation, my degree would be mailed).
Other than my normal student loan bills, I had never received another bill from the actual school. Never received it from a collection agency either about the school. Never received a phone call or anything.
I am attempting to get a job at a certain company. They made an offer and I accepted then started background check. During background check, they informed me that school is showing that I completed all of the courses, but did not graduate. I never received a bill or even a collections notice. The school said that the debt went to collections and was sent back to them.
How is this possible?
I logged into my old account. My balance showed $0. I logged into the place if you are a former student and needed to make a payment. The balance was $0. On the ledger for my last semester it even shows the amount was written off and I have a negative balance.
I looked in the documents page and it shows that a Student Authorization Title IV Credit Balance document was still needed. This is a document to authorize the school to either hold the excess funds they collected or release them to the student.
How do I get them to release my degree ASAP? I was already given the job offer. What happens if they rescind the offer because of this?
