My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California
I attended ITT Tech, Online during 2011. I completed a full year at the school and had both Student loans and the Pell grant approved. When it came time to fill out paperwork for the next year of courses I was informed that I supposedly had a $10,000 balance with the school. Upon further investigation, it was found that the school was trying to apply my student loans to a non-existent account. Sine the account they were attempting to apply my student loan funds to was not valid, the school decided to send back the loan money to the lender.
Now I currently have a $10,000 plus collections account against me for a debt that is not valid, and was only caused by ITT Tech's own incompetence.
I am trying to get information on what I can do to not only rid myself of this bogus debt, but also try and force ITT Tech to release my official transcripts to my current college. When first enrolling at ITT Tech, I had every intention of completing my Bachelor's degree through them, however after this little fiasco I will never attend their school.
Any and all suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you
