Can I pursue another associates degree if the college that I graduated from will not allow me access to my college transcripts, credits and credential papers.
I am not working and I cannot afford to pay the debt owed to this school. I cannot enroll in advanced educational classes because I cannot provide them with proof of graduation. ?I want to continue pursuing educational opportunities but this is hindering my chance to find an appropriate job in my field.

You can pursue another degree "from scratch" of course, without any material from this college, but you can't make the college giv e you this paperwork or documentation when you haven't paid them. You pay a college for your education, which includes for the documentation of that education; if you fail to pay them, they do not need to turn this material over to you or give you the benefit of the education you did not pay for.
