yeeesh tells us more.
my ssn was correct, but some dumbass work-study in account services was handling payments apparently and somehow put the mailed checks from my parents into someone else's account. my parents came in person to pay by check after i got another letter saying i was to move out of my dorm since the tuition still hasn't been paid. all they could say was, "oh, we're sorry, but here's your money back," after i was humiliated by eviction from my dorm room and already suspended from classes.

How could that be possible? I mean getting it fixed? What about the other student who already spent the money? Does that mean the school will have to pay you out of their own pockets or something?
Yes?

that happened to me. they had one guy with the same name register for school. He was in highschool and they had swapped our social securities. I was not allowed to register because i was, according to them, a high school student. lol.
This sucks, but it's not a major deal. "Humiliation" from getting kicked out of the dorm? Really? Grow up. You're in college. Nobody with half a brain would even care once they learned the reason why you had to move out for a day or so.
Lmao wow. Yeah they totally would. People are judgemental jerks. Most people don't listen to the "and this is why" they just remember the "you got evicted" Full stop that's all they hear. "I did some time...." ex-con "for having pot" seriously people don't care how reasonable or ridiculous they judge.
yo, they're fuckn retarded, sue them.
Oh gosh. I got that exact same letter once, except it said that my parents had forgotten to sign one line on my financial aid letter and that I couldn't register for classes until I paid down my balance ($15,000). It sounds like a clerical thing. If they've already figured out what the problem was then they should be well on their way to solving it. Good luck!
UGH i hate college for this exact reason. they ****** me over soo many times
oh you were paying and they were? UGH. I hope you got it all straightened out. Did you show them your check records or something?

It looks like something could be fixed then, I'd think. I know they'd want YOU to check and make sure the SS was the same but if some stoned work-study typed it in wrong and you EXPECTED to see your SS when you checked the info . . . it's easy to see that's why you didn't catch the mistake. Of course, the other student ALSO should have checked to see why their account was being paid off so fast, too. Me? I think that student owes the money back or else, the univeristy immediately needs to reactivate your account (read, pay it) and go after THAT other student. Pronto. And, they need to find out exactly who typed in that number wrong and send them to the unemployment line or suspend them from school if they're a student.
I know this comment is almost two years old, but I had to point out the fact you used two semicolons incorrectly. :/
