I went to a cosmetology school that cost $16,000. They were paid in full. I took the state board and passed, but was not given my license because my

School will not release my proof of training to the state. They claim I owe them $6559 for overages before they will agree to releasing the POT. I disagree with that amount. The $6559 is for 659 hours they say I missed. They will not give me an itemized bill proving this, despite several attempts to get this information. I was given a post it note with the amount of $6559 written on it the day I completed the required 1600. Also, the education I received was not what they claimed. There were several weeks that we did not have instructors for classes that were promised for the initial $16000. I asked to see a SIGNED contract because I do not remember signing anything agreeing to any of their terms. They sent me a contract, but no signature. I have no record, nor do I recall signing anything. Do I need a lawyer to force them to release my POT to the state so I can get my license? Also, can I sue for time wasted and loss of employment due to the schedule I was told I needed to attend because they led me to believe I would be kicked out, as well as the strain it put on my finances and personal relationships?

If they dont have a singed contract neither do you so it comes down to who dose the judge believe most likely the Judge would believe you , But ! you never can tell
Yes I think you should talk to and attorney , thats a lot of money and time
you might just get an attorney to write a letter to them and they will back down and give you your POT rather than fight it , most attorneys will write a letter for a small fee, ask for this before you retain the attorney and have to pay a lot of money to the attorney , and see what there reply is to the letter

Yes you should get a laywer. They may be a case pending already and may want to join together all cases to make on law suit. If they have too many complaints they may lose teaching credentials
