My sister owes tuition to a college she briefly attended in 2009. She is making payments which just covers the monthly past due fee. This is not a student loan and the school will not release transcripts unless the tuition is paid.
My parents are in no financial situation to pay the tuition. They lost their job and business in the middle of a school year which was the reason the tuition was not paid in the first place.
That said, she is trying to transfer to a school this fall and she obviously needs transcript to transfer. She was there only for a quarter and the rest of the transfer credits were earned in a community college. While attending community college, she has been working part time to save up some money. But at this rate, she won't be able to go back to university in at least 5 years.
Now that she has saved up some money from a part time job and that I can contribute from my savings, what would be the most ideal way to approach to the school to settle her tuition at a lower balance if that's possible at all. Taking all the money available at this point, we can payoff about 60% of the balance.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or advices. Thanks.
