Was your withdrawl before any deadlines for partial or full refund of tuition fees? Some states require refund of a percentage of tuition if the student withdraws within certain timeframes. Was this a public or private college?
It was a public school and i withdrew on the second class.. And no one mention that i still had to pay?
This is less than a year old. You should be able to get a clear picture from the college itself. They should still have the records accessible. If the debt itself was invalid, should have been a far smaller amount, or should never have been sent to collection, you are better off than messing with the CA, who has no interest in meeting the college's obligations.
