lost college transcripts

I attended a business college from 1999-2001 in ohio. My exhusband and i moved back to ky around that time and in 2002 went to morehead stste.somethings happened that i didnt get to finish and have recently tried to go back to school. The college in ohio was sold to lincoln college since then and ohio board of transcripts said they took my transcripts with them to new jersey but whenbi contacted them they said they cant find them but to go ahead and send $16 and theyll keep looking. What can i do? Thats 3yrs of my life. Can they legally just lose those? I mean fafsa shows on my loans that fincial aid paid for most of it. Do i meed to call fafsa or a lawyer.
