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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that I was never actually enrolled in the class I've been attending all semester. I guess that explains why I only got $400 dollars in student aid, not the 1,200 they said I'd get. FML
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 owed my school $0.20. They decided to charge me a late fee of $20 for deferring the intial payment. 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 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 realized while paying bills on my phone I fat-fingered which credit card I was paying and sent 299 to a paid-off card instead of 200 to another one. Now I'm going to have overdraft fees too. FML
Today, after wondering why I didn't receive a grade for a summer course I took in 2007, I realized that I gave the professor the wrong student ID number. Someone else received credit. I've been waiting on this grade for 8 months in order to graduate. FML
Today, I found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML
Today, after a whole summer of waiting, I went to check my school's website so that I could start my first year again since I had some complications the first time round. I found out that they'd blocked my account and that the fee I'd have to pay was now triple the original. FML
Today, I found out that because I, like many others, don't read the terms and conditions, I accidentally donated £200 to a charity because of a non-refundable payment on a volunteering trip. It's my parents' money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's why you should always check things like this 50 times. FYL though, I hope you can get it back.

I call bullshit on this one. you have ID numbers in college and you have to show you're ID before doing anything that even has the word payment in it. so unless you guys have the exact same name and your student ID numbers are almost exactly alike AND you guys look just alike, I don't think this is pissible

I see you obviously haven't picked up any common sense while you were in college. Seriously, who makes any kind of payment without verifying that the bill they're paying actually belongs to them?

You're dumb. YDI how do you not notice shit like that?

how do you even do that? Don't you show a student ID card or anything when you make payments? Or if it's online, wouldn't you check whose name it was in? I don't think it's even possible to accidentally pay someone else's fees at the uni I work at. They have to show us their ID card, or if they do it over the phone they have to read us their ID number, and if it's online then it's done via an account they have to sign on to with a username and password.
