(and their horrible mess of a web-site)
Hi,
Here –briefly- is what happened to me. I dropped a wrong class manually with one slip of paper, and added the right class with another slip, both signed by the department head and duly submitted to -and receipted by- the office of the registrar. Then –just to be sure- (and because I am old and well schooled in how schools work), I tried to drop the extra class online as well. (That evening, the website says that if no payment is made by a certain date that the class is dropped automatically.) After 4 session failures, I gave up. Now I'm being hounded by both the Colorado Department of Revenue and a collection agency.
If this -or something like this- happened to you, I'd like to hear from you. I make no promises I can do anything about it, but I do promise you this. The administrator / dean / web-site manager / whomever that is responsible for this will -at some point- be obliged to explain it all to someone more powerful then you and I.
Please take a minute to fill out as much of the following form as you are comfortable filling out.

FINE PRINT:
I will NOT use your email address for anything but this issue. I will NOT sell, give or lease your names to anyone.
What I might be able to do, however, would be to....
arrange for a bunch of us to tell our stories to some committee in the state house.
offer advice on legal (small claims) remedies re. your credit.
recommend a lawyer or legal advocate to advise you or speak on your behalf.
offer general advice on getting your money back if they got it, repairing your credit if you are dammed-if-you-will-pay-extortion (like me), or just generally how stick up for yourself.
