University, you suck sometimes.
They've overcharged me on my rent. By £378.15.
And then, when they tried to fix it? They managed to glitch the computer system, and instead debited my account by a further £400.
Meaning the university, right now? Has overcharged me to the tune of £800. Which, on an accomodation bill of £797.85, is pretty fucking impressive.
They've established 'beyond a shadow of a doubt' that they shouldn't have taken the money; what they haven't work out is how to give it BACK. So I'm still eight hundred quid down. Fortunately for them, I'm one of the very few students in the university who've actually got eight hundred pounds in their account at the end of the year, because if they'd taken more money than I had and therefore incurred some bloody big bank charges, there would have been hell to pay. Uh huh. Not to mention I'd have, you know, no money. But never mind.
Term ends in a week, so I've got to chase down the finance department tomorrow and ask to get the money TT'd into my bank account. There's a charge to send money by TT (rather than BACS, which is free but slow), but given the amount they've tried to take from me, I think they can cough up the £30 to get the funds bank in my account within 24 hours!
