On January 21st, I received a bill from the college for an "orientation" class that had been held on the 18th. The bill was made out on the 17th, no one ever told me about an orientation class when I signed up for my first class, so obviously I didn't go.
After recieving the bill, I dd an investigation and found on their website that it was mandatory for new students to attend this 4 hour workshop (it also included how to schedule time for homework and such - things I had already learned when getting my Bachelor's degree). So, I finally paid it. The funny part of that was that payment was due by the 19th or there would be added charges ($50 I think and no grades would be available until it was paid) - go look again at when I recieved the bill. Fine, I fgured I owed it, so I sent them a check at the beginning of February (hey, if I was to be late, might as well make it a decent amount of time).
When I got home yesterday, within the pile of mail was an envelope from the college stating "refund information enclosed". Upon opening it, I found a letter and my uncashed check. The letter said in part,
"The semester you owed [the money] for was supposed to have been paid by a third party. Both your account and the company's account is at a zero balance."
I have no idea who the third party is that paid the bill. I am dumfounded that I have a secret benefactor.
Actually I am thinking more along the lines of I probably paid it thru my taxes - the ultimate irony!
The telemarketers got through and WS paid it for you. Yeah, right!
