That damned statistics class! I majored in Anthropology because of my math phobia. No, I never flunked any other classes, got more 'A' s than 'B's. I got called on the carpet for getting a 'D' in that class TWICE! I got through it the third time with the aid of a very patient tutor-that poor first year teacher likely remembers this ordeal too. This all relates to my GI Bill because we got paid per credit hour. I was enrolled and was paid for a full load of classes. Had I instead enrolled for five less credits for any particular semester my pay would have expected a decrease. This is the ONLY thing in my memory that may have incurred that debt. That was back in 1982 or '83 so I could not say today if that $2000 debt was equal to six months of part time status at the rates they had back then. Even so, I attended every one of those classes and if by chance this is what they are docking me for then maybe they have a case. I don't know.

I noted in an above response that I had made a request for audit during my second conversation with the VA's collection Agency. She said it would take six weeks and we are just passing the sixth week mark now. If possible, I want to see that audit first before I start writing letters to my Congressman. That said, that audit might not come either and if it does not appear shortly I may indeed call on my Congressman. Everything I said in the OP is accurate btw and if I do call/write him I will review your advice.

thanks again MADem
