My boyfriend was a sponsored student at a US college, the college got paid when the bills were properly sent to the foreign sponsor. Two years after he completed his degree he received a notice of unpaid tuition balance from the college. The college stamped his papers as 'paid' every semester during registration, and never notified him that there was any unpaid balance while he was student.
He never signed any paper stating he will pay his tuition. Now the college threatens to sue him if its not paid in full. He understands that he got benefits but never assume he will be the responsible one for the tuition. The sponsor says its too late for making any payments now since its been more than 10 years.
My questions:
1-What can be their legal arguments/claims for going to the court since he never had any papers signed with the college?
2- How successful they can be at their claims?
3- Is there any statue of limitations for unpaid tuition?
Thanks
