Argh!
I’ve just spent the last hour on the phone. Why? Because not only is my financial aid messed up (again!!!) but the payment for our truck that i mailed out oh, nearly 3 weeks ago, never cleared. So, yeah, I’m a tad frustrated right now.
I got a disclosure statement the other day for my student loans for the upcoming year. It listed my subsidized loans, but had nothing for the unsubsidized that I had accepted. And the subsidized is not enough to pay my tuition and fees, so I was a little worried. Thankfully, when I called the direct loan dept., they had record of it and said it should be dispursed with my subsidized. To be fair, there is a little blurb on my disclosure statement that says actual dates and amounts for dispursement may be different, but there was no way I was leaving that up to chance. I’m still not 100% confident that it will all go smoothly, just because of the way WSU screwed everything up last semester with my financial aid, but as long as everybody has the same amounts, I’m hoping it will all be good.
And can’t forget the stupid truck. I mailed out the payment on July 14th and my check still hasn’t cleared. It’s only going to Grand Rapids, so they definitely should have gotten and cleared it by now. WHen I called, the rep said they showed a payment of five hundred and some dollars posted for the july payment. Well, that’s about 200 bucks more than my payment. There was no record of the payment I sent in. SHe said it’s possible that the payment got mixed up with somebody who’s account number is similar to ours since it’s all done by computer and that she’ll have the accounting department look into it and call me back later today. I hope they can get it figured out, because I made the flippin payment! Grrr.
