"AAaaaarrrgh! Me no likey, me no likey!!!"

I got a letter off my Uni this morning saying that I've been charged £15 because my direct debit didn't go in on time. My DD was set up for the 31st March, but my loan doesn't go in until 28th April. You work it out. It's almost like they did it on purpose to get this fee off everyone. I can't afford the £366 they want yet. I can't even afford the £15 they're charging me now. And to top it all, the direct debit agreement is now broken and I have to arrange a way to pay it, even though they knew the money wouldn't be there. And if I don't? Another £75 on top! I tells ya, I spend as much time filling in forms as I do actually getting an education. Harumph.

I think the moral here is this: Don't get an education.

The Ogre got charged £15 in his final year of uni because the University decided to take money out of an account he hadn't used since his direct debit in the first year and so he didn't have any money.

When he tried to sort it out by setting up a direct debit from another account, the uni told him that they didn't use direct debits and he would have to pay by check.

:s

Poor dude, UNI's suck!
