Ach.

Finished paying up my school loan but I sent in a payment that was 75 cents too high.

Anyone know if I can get that cash back somehow?

I am being serious. I go to the Department of Education page and check the status of my loan and it says I have a 75 cent credit. I want that money back.

Hey at work a guy argued with the phone company for ten minutes and demand they refund him 64 cents. :)

B)Asian,

C)An unholy spawn of the two,

You'll never see it, and I know that credit is going to eat at you for as long as you live. You'll always have that little, annoying 75 cent credit in the back of your mind...

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It's just 75 cents! You aren't really that much of a tight wad are you?

Yes. Completely. I don't want the man having any more of my money then they need.

Call someone up that handles that and ask for 75 cents? Oh yeah, if they agree, demand it in pennies.

It's quite likely that they'll send you a refund check at the end of the next billing cycle.

Wait at least until then before calling and asking for your refund. It'll probably automatically get to you.

Well the "man" gave you a no- or low-interest loan for the whole time you were in school, and they can use that $.75 to do the same for other people who need help. :)

Nononono, since he's overpaid his bill, ask them to overpay you back and promise to give them change . . . after he stops by the bank really quick . . ..

I'm reminded of a bash.org quote:

<wolf> 1. Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A
<wolf> 2. Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B
<wolf> 3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business
Reply Mail Envelope.
<wolf> 4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold
in your hand.
<wolf> 5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away
whistling.
<wolf> I have now received two phone calls from the credit card companies
telling me that they received a stuffed envelope with coupons rather
then my application. They informed me that it they are not pleased that
they footed the bill for the crap I sent them. I reply with "It says
Business Reply Mail" I'm suggesting coupons to you to ensure that your
business is more successful. They promptly hang up on me.
<wolf> Now, I did this for about a month before it got boring, so I got an
added idea! I added exactly 33 cents worth of pennies to the envelope
so they paid EXTRA due to the weight. I got a call informing me about
the money, I said it was a mistake and I demanded my change back. After
yelling at the clerk and then to the supervisor they agreed to my
demands and cut me a check for the money. I hold in my hand at this
very moment a check from GTE Visa for exactly 33 cents.
