Today, I received a $2,000 check in the mail. The letter that came with it stated that the check was for overpayment on my student account from prior year(s). It also says that my student account may now have a balance due. So I guess they want me to cash the check and pay the new balance. But there is a problem: I graduated from College 5 months ago. The letter doesn't come with a billing statement so I need to check it online. I don't have access to the student portal or my online bill statement, or any such thing anymore. So its like WTF??

Take it and run. What's to discuss?

This Unless its something that can affect your credit somehow.

There can be no negative repercussions from instantly spending it all! None, yeah none. Totally spend it.

But if there IS now a balance due on my account (but I have yet to confirm it) and I leave it be, there are going to be finance charges slapped on it. The issue is I have no way of looking at my account.

Go to the school and request transcripts and anything related to your account.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth?

Credit is joke anyway.
