My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Ohio
Hello. So my case is the following:
Enrolled, but never attended a rural sub campus of a university in 08. Called my adviser as I did previous semesters to with draw from full time (4 classes) to part time (2 classes). Received full time aid but it was withdrawn to part time aid but there is no record of me signing up for ft classes or withdrawing from them. Same with me completely withdrawing from part time. Cashed an over payment check, received never attended failed (NF) in both courses, tuition was never refunded back to FASA.
In my motion for discovery request a university supervisor said I dropped classes, but again no evidence either way. Now with the principal, Ohio Attorney General fees, ect; I am being sued for $5k. Case was filed in '16
I understand I owe for the reimbursement check, however they I assume they illegally kept my tuition per R2T4.
Can I counter sue for my tuition, and them potentially breaking the law? I was thinking under 28 U.S. Code § 1658 - Time limitations on the commencement of civil actions arising under Acts of Congress. Since the US Dept of Ed is under them.
