College.. problems

[EjaWinter]

I reside in Texas. I attended the University of Colorado at Denver and Boulder. I was in ROTC there, but I decided that they wanted me to drive too much b/c I was driving about 300 miles a week between the two schools and the second semester they wanted me to come up there three or four more times a week. I just couldn't do it. When I came home to Texas for Christmas break, I called and informed the ROTC at Boulder that I would not be returning for the next semester. I then got online, requested transcripts, withdrew from classes (at Denver campus), and printed out a copy of my unofficial transcript. I enrolled at the local college of Lamar and attended the semester there. About May, I get a bill in the mail from UCD saying that I owe them $14,000 for the semester that I just attended. First, I heard of it. They say that I didn't withdraw.. so I talked to ROTC, who is responsible for my school there b/c of the scholarship, they said they wouldn't pay b/c I withdrew. After much arguing with UCD and even proof that I was attending Lamar and such, they still want me to pay them and are witholding my official transript. Is there anything that I can do?

Does the college have procedures for withdrawing? Perhaps on the registrar's site? And did you follow those procedures?

Procedures

No, you just drop all your classes and that's that. They said I didn't drop my classes though, but they have everything else on record I did that day.. I thought that was a little too convenient.
