Arizona State University Compassionate Withdrawl Question...

So I was a student at Arizona State in the fall of 2023 enrolled full-time. Prior to this semester I had a 3.8 GPA, was majoring in neuroscience in my junior year with a minor in data science, when I had a stroke and as a result of the radiology also found out I had thyroid cancer. The first couple years after I had a stroke were really hard. And the first semester after I had a stroke, the one one in which I was enrolled at Arizona State, my brain felt like it'd been in a microwave and I was in no shape per my doctors, or myself to continue school. Unfortunately, directly after I had the stroke I didn't even know I was a student at Arizona State. Much less have the wherewithal to drop out. When I called to figure this out with them, they talked me into joining this compassionate release or compassionate withdrawal. I believe it was called program and told me that they would forgive the the debt I was super relieved and signed up for the program. Several months later. I received a collection statement from Arizona State for the entire semester's tuition. All they did was give the money back to the federal government who would have at least let me make payments on it, and try and make it do and payable immediately to the university. This has cost me severely in TimeWise being as I am 47 and I have not been able to go to school because Arizona State were not transfer my credits nor winter lease my transcripts to any new college until just recently. But for several years I think my education was on hold. Everything was on hold because I became disabled because of the stroke. I'm not able to work. Not able to attend school and Arizona State. Only $6,000 debt over my head and on my credit report keeping me from doing anything one which I could not pay with the $1,200 a month I get from SSI disability. I think this is a very crappy way to conduct business and it's just shameful coming from an educational institution and given the financial part ramifications in my life and the fact that they pretty much ruined degree path, I would like to do something about it legally and have somebody to finance that. I'm kind of wondering though a. What type of attorney I should talk to and b. Whether or not there's even a case to pursue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. This happened in. Location: Arizona, but I now live in California.
