What should I do if the border police in Thailand say I have an overstay despite a valid extension?

Thailand Visa Visa Extension Overstay Immigration Issues Thailand-Malaysia Border Visa Fine

ORIGINAL POSTER

Need advice ASAP.

Currently at Thailand /Malaysia border. Have 30 day extension which is still valid for 2 days and have stamp and signature from immigration police captain. Police captain at the border is saying I have the stamp but no details of my extension on his computer. He's now saying that I have 30 day overstay now and I can't leave to go to Malaysia. Does this sound like I should be paying a "fine" to him?
