New CARS charge due now?

<p>Hm...I have been under the impression that I paid the amount due by August 15 in full. When I checked on that specific date, I saw that my 'minimum amount due now' (on bearfacts) was $0, after a student loan paid the amount that was previously due. When I calculated the difference between the balance and my loan amount, I found that I should have about $682.00 left over, which I originally thought would be refunded to me. </p>

<p>When I went on BearFacts today, the 18th, I found that I have a new 'minimum amount due now' of $529.00. I have not purchased anything since my last payment, but when I subtract my remaining $682 from my $1211.00 monthly housing bill (oh how i love you expensive clark kerr), it's exactly $529.00. I am 99.9% sure that this is what this new charge is connected to, but since I paid the larger amount that was due on the 15th, should I just assume that I don't have to pay this $529.00 until September 15th (when my student budget sheet says the next housing bill is due)?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The charged me for housing for the whole year. I have nothing due at the moment but my account balance is like $5341 or something because I still owe them the payments for housing from January to May 2006. When will I be refunded at the end of the year? That's weird since they didn't charge you for the whole year but they did to me.</p>

<p>Well, I'm not on full financial aid..as in the grant/loans I got do not cover the entire amount that is required to attend and live at Cal for a year. I think that is why we're charged month to month for housing. I was charged for the whole semester's tuition though, but I think everyone is.</p>

<p>Oh, and if you have money left over after you paid for the entire semester, you should be refunded around the 30th of this month.</p>

<p>Ok that's better.</p>

<p>Yeah, much better huh.</p>

<p>I'm kinda annoyed though. I thought I would be getting that 682.00 refunded to me, but instead they credited the amount towards next month's "rent". Oh well...this payment just better be due in september, and be what I think it is...They need to show exactly what these charges are for...but ONLINE and not 60 days later in the mail, haha. Okay, I'm typing really horribly. Tired. Of. Packing.</p>

<p>is that the date that was given to you by the billing and payment services?</p>

<p>I asked them about my refund (which I'm in dire need of), and they said the 19th of this month. I asked them whether this was just for me, or for everybody, and the lady said that this applied to everyone.</p>

<p>So, I'm confused.</p>

<p>nope. i got that date from a friend who is a rising senior. he said that he would get his refunds on the 30th on august for fall semester. so you're probably right. maybe it just takes a while for some people.</p>

<p>I was told that we get our refunds on the 19th as well, ccmad.</p>
