Students and Money: Spammed out

Spammed out

By goddamnit - 14/03/2009 02:57 - United States

Today, I got a letter saying I was no longer a student at my college and my current work is void since I had ignored and refused to pay my tuition bill. Over the past month I've been deleting these pesky emails saying 'FINAL WARNING regarding payment' thinking it was more spam. They weren't. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML

Repetition

Today, I received a letter from my college telling me that my instant tuition was revoked and I’ll have to pay almost twice as much next semester. Yesterday, I received the same letter. I guess they needed to tell me twice. It hurt just as much the second time. FML

Today, my college professor/employer failed to send in a letter I had been counting on for a scholarship application. He has also decided not to pay me for the last two months. I'm not going to make rent. Apparently this is the punishment you get for politely declining a date with a married man. FML

Today, I got a letter confirming I had dropped out of college. I received this letter shortly after completing the 10th essay I had finished this week as a result of me deciding to finally apply myself to my schoolwork. Turns out that while dropping a class, I checked Drop All instead of Drop 1. FML

Cough up

Today, I found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML

Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML

Today, I went through my spam folder. I found out that I'd received several emails telling me that I have been sending emails containing essays for a class of mine to the wrong address. The term ended yesterday. FML

Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML

Today, I found out that I've been paying student fees for the wrong account. Apparently I have been paying for some other student's tuition. FML

Yeah, you're probably not going to get much sympathy for this, especially since all you had to do was take two seconds to see that the sender's e-mail address was from your own school.

i don't see how it's possible not to think about paying your tuition

I love the number of people calling this guy an idiot, then acting like he could have just checked the "from" address on the email. You guys do realize there's absolutely no authentication built into SMTP, right? I could send you an email that looks like it's from [email protected] if I wanted to.

Yeah, but of she hasn't paid tuition in awhile, and she saw final payment notice from her school, she would probably put two and two together.

I think it's good that you were dropped since you aren't smart enough to open an email.

32 - Yes, you'd be able to do that. But that's why anybody with a brain would open it, and then look at the contents and where any links in the email lead to. And if somebody is getting an email FROM THEIR SCHOOL, it's better to check it. This is where the "Better safe than sorrry," comes in.

How did you think you were going to be allowed to stay in school if you "refused" to pay your tuition?? I note that you specify that you "refused" to pay, not that you forgot or were waiting on a loan or something legit. They don't just offer it for free, you know, no matter what your principles about not paying for stuff might be! Also, echoing above commenters, you apply to only be semi-literate, so I question how you actually got yourself into a university in the first place.

How did you not put two and two together here?! You clearly knew you hadn't paid your tuition bill. Did you really think your school would "forget" that you never paid?!
