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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Schools right now are horrendous with late fees and fines. See: the FML about putting a parking sticker on the wrong side.

22: It's obvious you never went to college. If you're paying off tuition in loans, you better hope you wrote down the same amount you saw in the bill at the time. If the school decides to charge you on anything else for whatever reason, like a late library book, you don't know about it until you either get another bill a couple months later or you get a late reminder. It's not like you're getting a bill every week.

Just gotta say: you totally deserved it (666) but I think I have to go with FYL myself.

Sounds similar to what my school does. There's a $40 "administration fee" if you don't pay both the Fall and Winter semester's tuition by the end of September. It's worth it for some people to take the $40 hit when it's over thousands of dollars though. I have a couple friends that didn't pay their entire tuition bill at the end of September, and instead paid everything minus what the University itself is paying them as a scholarship, which the University pays directly to their account at the University. Essentially the University is charging them $40 because the University can't transfer money from one of it's own accounts to another account in time.

To all those who posted above, its not about the amount of money he has to pay. Its the principal that $0.20 would cause a $20 fee, cause its a 20,000% increase to what was originally owed in the first place.
