More details to this question:
My parents co signed a loan for me to attend college, I ended up not finishing because I moved and my parents paid off the loan. They are now telling me I must pay them back for this loan which has been satisfied. Besides the moral obligation to pay them back am I legally in anyway responsible for paying them back since the loan does not exist anymore and has been payed back? I never signed a contract or anything stating I would pay them back

You were the cosigner of the loan, meaning that you were obligated to pay at least your share (depending on how the deal was structured, you were probably the principal obligor and obligated to pay the whole amount, while your parents were guarantors). You didn't, and your parents were forced to pay your share (whether that share was 100% or only 50%). They thus now have a claim against you to recover the amount that they lost becasue you didn't fulfill your contractual obligation. Essentially, having paid off the loan, your parents now step in the shoes of the lender.
