<p>Hello, I really need help or advice about transferring to a school. Basically my situation is I attended 2 schools, a community college to pursue a bachelors in business which I already obtained my associates degree from and the other school I took only for information technology and so currently I am tryin to transfer to a university for my business degree which I can furnish my transcript from the community college but I can not from the other college because I owe them too much. So I can across some websites to furnish fake transcripts as official so I'm wondering if it would probably be a good bet, technically they wouldn't be able to transfer any courses from that other school anyway. Comments? Be nice!</p>
<p>I don’t know what other people would say, but I would never do this. I think you should contact the school you’re applying to and explain the true situation - that you cannot get a transcript because you owe too much money, and explain it’s not going to be useful anyway. If you have a good/legit reason for not paying, they may understand – although I think you should be in the process of trying to clean that up. Also give them your own unofficial list of classes and grades. Better yet, pay what you owe to the school so you can get the real transcript.</p>
<p>Well the thing I already explained to them and they said I have to have it, it is too much for me to pay right now</p>
<p>Perfectknight, fraud in the educational realm (and often everywhere else) has a way of coming to light when you might least expect it. With all the information circulating these days it can be very hard to keep things under wraps. Think of all the people who have been outted for claiming medals, and degrees they never received. You say that you want to get a business degree, I think we already have too many unethical business people around already.</p>
<p>Perfectknight,</p>
<p>You are likely to find that most people on this site and in real life will discourage you from committing fraud. I would recommend that you do your best to pay off the school where you owe money. If you owe them so much that it’s a burden now, how are you prepared to take on the financial burden of paying to go to another school? The bottom line is that you will not be able to continue your education legitimately without clearing the slate. Perhaps you could work out a payment plan with the school. Have you asked them if there’s a way they would release the transcript after part of the bill is paid? (I would think the answer would be “no,” but it couldn’t hurt to ask if you could arrange something.)</p>
<p>Yea I have talked to the school they said I have to pay in full, as at as owing them they issued a loan from the school itself, it is not a federal which I can defer while attending, the jobs I am pursuing will definitely allow me to be able to pay after I graduate,I may have an unofficial transcript that this website will actually produce as a fake official one, the only reason I am considering this option is because it wont even apply at all to the school I’m attending yet I need it to even be accepted</p>
<p>I appreciate the difficult situation you are in. And I get that you are looking for ways to make using this “fake official” transcript seem okay. It’s not. Not even a little. It is likely that the school that receives this fake transcript will be able to tell the difference between the counterfeit and a legitimate transcript. So the likelihood of being found out is rather high. The adult thing to do is to make good on your obligation to the school where you owe money. Then start fresh.</p>
<p>One more person stating the obvious: you cannot use fake transcripts.
How much do you owe the second school? It sounds like you only took one class there…can you borrow money from a family member and make a payment plan with them?</p>
<p>I owe 17k, I was making Payments when I was attending but fell behind, I’ve pretty much exhausted all options, sallie Mae won’t even give me a loan without proof ill be attending for that school which I won’t be currently so If there might be other options available that I haven’t thought of I’m open thanks</p>
<p>@Perfectknight-this may not be an answer you are willing to consider but you said it was a loan from the school not the federal government. So while I hate to say this as its not in my opinion a correct way to go about fixing your situation I will throw it out there. Declare bankruptcy. Your a student you make what 10K a year maybe more, but not enough to pay of 17k in the time frame you want. So declare bankruptcy, then when you are financially stable making money make a donation to the school that you did not pay the 17k, then you have in a way paid back the school.
I have philosophical problems with the above idea, but it is an option.</p>
<p>Don’t use fake transcripts though. Lets say you get caught after your admitted, then you might get kicked out and never get your degree.</p>
<p>It is extremely rare (as in none of us here have heard of a case) for an accredited college or university to admit a student who owes money to another college or university. Basically, they assume that if you never finished paying that other place, you are also unlikely to pay them.</p>
<p>You need to find a way to settle that old debt before you can move on. I know it is very hard to pay down the kind of debt you have, but short of bankruptcy, that really is your only option. Look for a job that will allow you to live, pay back these loans, and when you have started to do that, if there is some money left over, go back to college part-time. </p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
<p>Drop out.
The school you owe money to has alerted the credit bureaus (or will soon), which has affected your credit score stopping you from getting any private loans or “plus” loans in your name without a cosigner. Eventually the school will begin the process of taking you to court, which will show up on your SSN further destroying your credit score, jeopardizing financial aid at ANY school, and showing up at background checks by employers for the next 5-10 years. Also, if the school finds out that you’re currently attending another school in some way, it’s not unheard of for them to simply call your current school, or the school you plan to transfer to, and you then being denied the opportunity to register for classes at your current school until you fix the debt from the other school as no one wants a dead-beat at their school (although that’s unlikely and extreme, it has happened).
Also, bankruptcy is difficult and terrible, and comes with its own set of ramifications.
Basically, you suck; No sympathy; Total judgement. Forge your transcript all you want, but running away from your responsibilities clearly hasn’t worked for you in the past (as evidenced by $17,000 of debt) and it won’t work now.
Drop out, pay it back, then go back.</p>
Hey I have the same problem now? What did you do to fix it?
