Fraudulent bachelors transcript to earn a real one

r/

About a decade ago, I sent a fake foreign transcript to be evaluated to see how bogus these transcription services are.

To my avail, it came back as a full degree completion which I then submitted to a real school to earn my “2nd bachelors degree” by completing a meezly 32 credits.

Over the years, this burden has slowly been eating me alive and I want it gone. Any recommendations on what I can do? I thought about emailing the school in good faith in hopes they would forget the whole thing and let me take the gen Ed courses to complete a real degree, but how realistic would that be? Is this huge mistake salvageable if I come clean? Should I just go to a different school starting from scratch?

I actually ended up liking this school after my 1st semester and tried to get the registrar to retract my transcript and start fresh, but they refused.
