Garden Club - December 2015

[Anonymous]

Question. I overpaid my rent on accident. Its $1056 I punched $2056 by mistake on the 1st. Complex is telling me they have a "strict policy" of only issuing credit to the apartment account. Id like the extra $1000 back on my card where it belongs. Is this a charge I can dispute? If so would I need to provide documentation showing its the wrong amount or are disputes fairly simple?

Quick check in for December. Six months in the garden so far this time around. Hoping to make it to this time next year and be shopping for a mortgage. May end up buying a new vehicle in the Spring though...

I doubt you would be able to dispute it, since you are the one who authorized it in the first place - and even if you do so successfully, your complex would be within its rights to charge you a returned payment fee. Unless you really need it back, why not just let it be credited towards January's rent?

yfan this is why I asked first before attempting the dispute. idk how any of this works! (clearly) I dont necessarily need it back but I dont care for an extra $1000 added to my util either. In light of your response I'll let it go and just pay the remainder due next month. Thanks

Why not do a statement credit style of thing and only pay $56 next month?

^ Right but do pay off the balance before the due date on your card. You don't want a return payment fee from your apartment complex, but you also don't want to pay interest on that $1000!
