transcripts being held hostage

[Brownie82]

Years ago, I applied to UMD College Park. I sent in everything and just had to send in the application fee. Things happened and I changed my mind and eventually forgot about it. Years later, I think they were able to offset my taxes or something to get their money. On the flip side, I sent money to Bowie State and sent everything but my transcripts. I ended up moving to AZ afterwards.


Also, now I'm curious. How do you find out if you owe anything to any schools. Like in the above example, I didn't realize that I was on the hook for that fee until it was taken out of my tax refund. I know I have a private loan in default and my others can be tracked on the .gov student loan site. Anything outside of that I'm clueless about.
