Question

So I have a few questions regarding going back to school.. I got pregnant in college I left school Fall 2015, I was so scared and depressed I didn't have any other option but to drop out cause I got so distracted and couldn't focus, not thinking straight I just left without thinking to withdraw from my classes, so I obviously failed all of my classes. Now I'm going to try out a community college to get back on track , I requested to get my transcripts sent over to my new college but my old school sent an email stating they couldn't process my request due to a hold on my account ( I owe a fee ) not financial aid related .. my question is should I negotiate a payment plan In exchange for my transcripts or should I just start fresh and take a placement test? I'll obviously pay off the fee I owe , but I just want to know if it'll be a good idea to have those transcripts followed over to my new school since the grades were bad I'll most likely have to repeat classes, I'll be calling the admissions office tomorrow but I'd like some of your opinions as well
