Bank error in your favor, collect $353?Fast post (as fast as I can make them).URI decided to charge me an overcredit fee of 20 credits ( 1 credit over 19 = $343, lame) since I am taking 17 credits at the moment. The very fine print says the total credits count during the semester, not the current, if I change courses after the add period (dropped Lit before the drop period deadline [17-3 current, 17 total] legal, got approved on my late add petition for German, red financial flag [14+3 current, 20 total]). So I can't register until that has been mustered together. My folks were going to cover that for me later this week or early next week. That is until I got an email saying that I received a refund just now to my URI credit card. I check and I received a $92 overpayment fee. Baffled, I check my online account page: someone paid $353 on the account by credit card. I know my folks aren't the most tech savvy so I'm doubting they paid it online or by phone (just called them and they were confused about that too). Do I have a mysterious benefactor? Am I Pip? Where's my Estella? Do I now talk in a British accent? Fascinating. So now I'm a little nervous that maybe someone punched in the wrong account for an online bill pay and now I have their internet moneys. The devil on my left shoulder is saying spend the refund before they catch the error. The angel on my right shoulder was mugged and hog tied by the troll that lives in the back of my mind that loves free money. Since the refund disbursed before the credit card payment cleared (even weirder) I won't know what to ask at enrollment services to make sure this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass. I'll proceed as planned, just in case. Maybe this means I'll have a little Christmas scratch in my pocket after all? Good things can happen to evil scientists!
