Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Unfortunately, this is a fairly obscure question (I doubt that many attorneys on these board have ever dealt with this issue directly). As such, really the only way you will get an answer is to have an attorney review all of the documents related to your admission, the dental services provided, and your financial aid before they can determine if what UC did was legal. My best-guess without reviewing your information is that they do retain the right to do so. Your best bet is to first go back and review the documents dating all the way back to your admission. Next, go ask the Financial Aid office to point you to what you signed that said they have the right to intercept your financial aid to repay a non-school debt.
