True story from me regarding that very situation:
I attended an HBCU some years back, and by some fluke I owed the Cash Management Dept. $4.35 for tuition or somethin', but the clerk let me register for classes and all that and told me not to worry about the balance. So I basically forgot about it. Well, 2 1/2 years later, when the school was under a MAJOR state audit for misuse of funds, I received a VERY NASTY collection letter from the university saying if I didn't pay the $4.35, they would refer my case to a collection agency. Well, I drove to the school to settle the matter, and left with $130 more in my pocket. How's that? Well, I put a $135 refundable room deposit that was supposed to be refunded after I left the school that I never received. Luckily it was still on their books. Shoot, I bet they wish they never sent me that collection notice, cause that was the most expensive $4.35 they ever collected.
