Would you forgive my balance?? Dear Student Accounts of CSU, I am writing a letter of appeal of my balance that is currently on file at CSU from Spring 2007. The purpose of this letter is to describe the reasons I believe my that all or at least a large portion of my debt with CSU should be forgiven. I will try to be as brief as possible for I realize you may be busy. In the year of 2000, I was admitted to MUSC psychiatric ward after a traumatic reaction to medication I was on for severe depression. I was then diagnosed as bipolar. Because of the intense adverse reaction and weeks of hospitalization, I decided after many failed attempts, to stop taking medication for illness. I also did not seek any treatment in kind for the illness. Fast forward to 2005 I attended CSU and had a successful first semester. I had good grades in all classes. But going into 2006 my mental health begun to seriously decline. I felt extremely exhausted and loss all my abilities to concentrate and my schoolwork was impacted greatly. I recall pulling out of my classes, if I did not fail them altogether. I tried to continue my education and I faintly remember signing up for a class but then I got sicker and was incapable of pulling myself together to cancel the class – simple tasks are extremely difficult when you are very depressed and I just did not have the energy or decision making capabilities to unregister myself for the class and it caused me to have an outstanding balance ever since. I know this was my irresponsibility, but I had very little control over my actions and no support at school or home. I also was ashamed of my mental illness and could not seek the help I needed. I am now medicated and feeling much better these days and that’s why after all this time I am attempting to set my affairs right. I understand if CSU deems me responsible, but I am pleading that if you can not forgive all, please forgive some portion of the debt for I am now a single mother and need all the assistance I can get. I need to go back to school and get a degree so I can better provide for my child’s future. Maybe one day she can also attend your amazing university. Thanks for all your considerations.

mthor Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Good luck, but why should they? It would seem that they'd need more proof than just a sad letter from you - if that worked, everybody would write one. It's not that your claim is bogus, it's that you had pretty much entered a contract, and contracts usually have pretty specific terms for release. (They're also often time related.) If I were somebody in the finance office, I'd want something else, like a doctor's letter corroborating your statement. But that's just me - maybe they'll be willing to negotiate . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Well, assuming you were in good standing up to that point (meaning all paid up), you might have a leg to stand on. It depends on some things - like how full the class was at registration and whether or not it was part of a degree track. They wouldn't have much of an incentive to let it go if they thought you took the class spot from someone else who needed it and was unable to enroll.

Even if you were bankrupt, they'd just file a claim and cut their losses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
