Today, I found out that I owed my school $0.20. They decided to charge me a late fee of $20 for deferring the intial payment. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I found out that I've been paying student fees for the wrong account. Apparently I have been paying for some other student's tuition. FML
Today, I learned that my building never received my rent check. Now not only do I have to pay a $40 late fee, but also a $40 fee to stop the payment of the check that went god knows where. FML
Today, I found out my school's financial aid had a "misunderstanding" of my finances, I can no longer afford to pay half of my bills or pay for Christmas. FML
Today, I found out that I owe the government money and that the amount will increase if I miss the deadline two months ago. FML
Today, I checked my university financial account to discover I owed them over $1000. The reason? They had apparently given me too much money when I applied for a loan and now want it back. Oh, and I spent my loan money on books and a laptop for school. FML
Today, I paid $800.00 towards my student loans. That was the minimum payment. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I was overdrawn $15 at the bank. I paid in my last $80 in cash, only for them to inform me that I've been slapped with $90 in overdraft fees. FML
Today, I found out my bank charged me $50 for not having any money. Way to go bank, way to go. FML

A $20 late fee on a 20¢ fee is illegal.

Because I'm guessing you meant "for DEFERRING the initial payment": Who the hell defers a payment of 20c? You deserve the $20 charge for being ridiculous.

Still wrong. (check the double consonants) ;-)

he deferred the INITIAL payment. meaning he owed thousands, defered it, and was paying it off over an extended period of time, only had a few cents left to pay, and then got stuck paying an extra $20 (which is a lot for a student considering that, $20 will buy about 20 coffee's!)

Did you not read tr first line that said he JUST food out he owed twenty cents? Maybe he didn't know he had a fine in the first place... My school, if your account didn't have money, they would just charge it and not say anything cause they figured you knew..

Why did the fml team respond to such a shitty comment?

YDI for putting "differing" instead of "deferring."

Why didn't you just pay the 20 cents when you owed it instead of letting late fees pile up..? .YDI.

YOU DESERVE IT. Why are you complaining? It's YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT you didn't pay the measly $0.20 in the first place

Maybe he didn't know he owed the school 20 cents until he got the late fee? I just love stupid FML posters. =)

THANKYOU. Nobody else seems to have read the first line. At least some one realized it. :)
