I am curious if that makes me come across as a liar? .
I tried to Bold where the need to realize that you weren't in the wrong. The way Bills work sometimes is that dire straights can occur before the time of receiving a certain income replenishment, in your case, it was the financial aid refund check. If they had taken you up on your offer for repayment, then you wouldn't have had vacation money.
