<p>My Tele-BEARs and BearFacts Quick Statement both show my updates registration fees including my scholarship payments, but my most current CARS Bill shows a higher balance. Whenever I want to pay my bill, it asks me to pay the higher balance even though both Tele-BEARs and the Quick Statement both show a smaller amount. Does anyone know what I should do? I don't want to pay $1k more than I need to, and I'd really rather not pay the deferred amount. It seems needlessly complicated. Any advice?</p>
<p>The ebill is updated monthly. Assuming yours was updated 7/24 like mine, it should be updated next Monday. If you pay it now, you’ll probably receive a refund when us poverty stricken folk receive the last of our aid, which will be around the first day of school. I would just wait for the ebill update if I were you. The deadline has passed I’m assuming your scholarships took care of at least 20% of the bill, so you shouldn’t incur any penalties for waiting another week.</p>
<p>I’m confused about this because my CARS E-Bill is still very high, while my quick statement is at $0</p>
<p>The so-called e-bill is a once a month, fixed point-in-time view. Imagine that they sent a paper bill to you, with a due date of August 15th, and then make a pdf file of that paper sheet. It will stay fixed, regardless of your payments or of other debits made to your account during the month. The sheet of paper doesn’t change. Next month, you get the new paper with a due date of September 15th. That will show payments for the last month (August) and the new amount due. Again, that one won’t change at all once issued.</p>
<p>Quickstatement, on the other hand, is the balance now. Actually, not real time, it may take a day or so for payments to be recorded, but it CHANGES during the month. </p>
<p>If you got an e-bill for August 15th asking for $100, paid it, then you would see the quickstatement go to $0 due after the payment was recognized but the e-bill will perpetually say $100. They stick around in a historical file as well, so that you can go back and reread past e-bill statements, FYI.</p>
