PJ's College of Cosmetology PJ's School of Cosmetology Refuses to provide Transcripts Clarksville IN
I called to get copy of my transcripts and certificate of completion from the school by request of current employer. When I contacted them they told me to fill out a request for transcripts along with a $10 money order and send in by mail. I waited 3 weeks with no reply, so I contacted them by phone to ask if they recieved the request and why is it been so long.
The lady I spoke with did not know why it hadnt been done and she would send my information over to state board of cosmetology asap. I then called back a few hours later to find out why they still had not sent over the info to state board and they told me because I owed them $850 in fee's for overage hours. I completed the program in 2005 and I recieved all of my information to take my boards from them at that time. It was never mentioned to me about a balance owed on my account, nor was it ever turned over to collections.
This was the first time hearing about money owed in 13yrs. I asked why this was the first time hearing about this and why would they give me the transcripts when I completed the program if I owed them money. They could not tell me why I never heard of this until now. I dont understand how they can still legally collect on this aleadged balance when the statue of limitations are over the time to collect. I dont beleive I owe this money at all and it is causeing me a great deal of hardships to not be able to recieve my information. This is effecting my work and I dont have that type of money without being able to return back to work.

Statute of Limitation

You are a bit mis-informed about the Statute of Limitations. If a debt is out of the Statute of Limitations they can not legally come after you for payment. However, if the debt is owed they can request payment if you come to them. So if you come to them, they can't make you pay it, but they can withhold your transcripts until you pay the debt owed. The fact that they didn't tell you about the debt until now is inconsequential.
If you say you don't owe it and they say you do, the last resort for you may to be file a suit against them to force them to give you your transscripts.
As just a side note, it is very curious as if you went to this school 13 years ago, you should have gotten your license and (hopefully) 13 years of experience. So having an employer ask for records from 13 years ago seems a bit odd.
