Hunting Euros
Oct 16, 2006 ~ filed under: A-life & English ~ 0 comments »I feel like I’m (being?) hunted. It seems like everyone wants my money at the moment. I was so happy to earn more this month, but I won’t save much (as expected) because I have to give it to: A clothing company where I ordered clothes last winter. They wrote me that they made a wrong accounting entry and the transferred about 540 Euro too much – 540!- to my account (after all the clothes order and return mix-up). I must check this, but probably they are right. They want to have the money until this Friday (what a bad joke, but it’s true); in 4 days.
I wrote them a letter yesterday and asked for more time for me to check the whole thing (oh my god, I really forgot how to write the word letter…ohoh…thanks for online dictionaries that help against my empty brain *g*).
Anyway, today, I wanted to finish my tax return (finally), but then I ended up calculating how much my study loan (bafoeg) from the last years will be…or what my outstanding debt is. During playing with lots of numbers my dad brought me a letter (looks still weird the word *g*) from the company of my study loans.
Guess what?!
They calculated the years 2002 til 2004 again (concerning my parents’ earnings). In these years I got an amount of money (loan) every month, but now they calculated that I got too much. They want me to pay them 487 Euro back. In the following 4 weeks! Sigh…
Everyone seems to point at me and says “hey thanks for working hard and earning good money…so now you can give us some, harrr harrr harrr” 
Well, I called the study loan company (in Germany it they are called Bafoeg Amt).
First of all they wrote the letter on the 29th of September and I got it today (16th of October!!), so I already have 2 weeks less from their 4 weeks of time limit to pay. Not nice guys!
Luckily the guy on the phone said that I can ask (via letter…LETTER, my word of the day) for an extension of the payment. Yeah, that sounded good to me.
So I will write this letterrrr tomorrow. I hope that I can split the payment in at least 5 pieces…Or does anyone wants to donate some money to me *smile* Just kidding…
I should write more letters…snail mail…too often neglected…okay, who wants to get a letter from me? Send me your address. You’ll get a personal German postcard (signed by missycola). Honestly! First come first serve. Favored, if you’re not from Germany. Be quick. Don’t cheat and hang loose…
