I've just received a cheque in the post from my old university for £1,095.00, for no apparent reason.

Just thought I'd tell everyone - because that NEVER happens!

Perhaps physically, though based on the evidence you have a few more years to go mentally. Now please go away

Well I have a trip to the other side of the world planned so that will probably benefit. For now though I think it's the savings account - I don't want to start spending money that I might have to pay back...!

Don't worry about that one - I'll cash it first then ask questions! Incidentally, does anyone know the deal with claiming money back? If it were a mistake, am I obliged to pay it back? Are there any time limits etc?

Come on, DAS, let's not turn EVERY thread into a JM-bash! That's what the existing five are for!

If you are quick you can get it into a Mini-cash ISA and use up some of this year's tax free allowance.


As to the reasons for it; it looks suspiciously like the tuition fee level three years ago, did you manage to pay twice?
