IF You Get a Discharge of Your Tuition, The School Can't Refuse to Issue a Transcript!

By Joseph McDaniel, Esq.

The school had threatened to withhold a transcript if the student failed to pay the tuition.

And after the discharge the school made good on that threat.

So the student took the school to school in Bankruptcy Court, and said that the school was in contempt of the discharge for refusing to issue the transcript.

Now, the case itself has little importance, because the debt here is only tuition, not a government-insured student loan, so we won't see these facts again anytime soon.

But the case note is still a fun read!
