I find it very interesting that your entire long post misses ONE essential element... that being what did the school say when you contacted them and asked them to explain the charge??
The mere fact that you omitted that obvious information.... leads me to think that you KNOW that you owe them something.

After you answer that question... someone might try to help you.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

Even if the statute of limitations has run out, they do not have to release your transcript EVER if you do not pay them or convince them that the debt is incorrect.

It is legal.

I guess you could try to sue them for failure to release your transcript even though your account is, as far as you know, paid in full. You'd need a lawyer for that, definitely. You're probably better off first contacting a supervisor in the billing department, in person if you can, and going over your account to find out for sure what is owed (if anything).

Plus, I think my grandmother paid some of it with her credit card, I think my parents did too... they don't remember.

I have asked for copies of the refund checks because I never got them, if they were issued I'd like to see who cashed them. They told me that it doesn't matter if they can't find proof of the refund checks. But it does matter. According to the Mass Attorney General's Office, they have the burden of proof here and I can inspect and ask for proof of anything itemized on the statement. Otherwise I'm just looking at a bunch of random numbers on a piece of paper. They say I owe. I and my family, say I don't. Why are they more correct than we are?

If the SOL has run out, that's too bad for them. So do you think they're just hoping I don't get representation and will just pay because they say so? If that's the case, should I call their bluff?
Let's try this again.
You don't HAVE to pay this.
They don't HAVE to release copies of your transcript.

If you STILL don't understand, then please post, word for word, the answer you would like to hear. I would be happy to respond back with that exact answer.

Now you see why I didn't post further... this OP doesn't want advice... he just wants to argue, hoping that he can convince someone he is right... when he clearly is NOT.

I just wanted someone to explain how this makes sense. It's not about who's right. I was looking for some advice not an argument. All you've done is attack me for withholding information that I disclosed from the start. So your advice to me is leave? Gladly. Thanks for all your help.
