I, Skyler Drerup, am writing the statement for my financial eligibility determination.
Below is a full explanation for each item needing to be addressed on my credit report:
The first account is my Verizon Wireless phone bill account. I had an account
started with a monthly bill for a phone plan. Because I couldn’t afford the bill, I had
canceled the account before the contract was final. I had paid everything off, but a small
fee. The amount of the bill fee is $66.43 as of February 1, 2014. I had no phone for
about a year after this had happened, and I also moved to multiple addresses after that
had happened. I had no contact with this Verizon company for so long, that the fee that I
was required to pay was never notified to me, and I also forgot to check it. I have now
paid the amount in full. I have attached a letter from them showing this payment. You
may contact Chase creditors at 800-540-7336. My confirmation # is 937640 and
account # is 0323703668-00001.
The second account is a tuition bill from Bowling Green State University in
Bowling Green, Ohio. The amount of this bill is $4,486.85. I attended Bowling Green
State University spring semester of 2013. I had quit in March of 2013 to move to
Nashville, TN on my own to be close to family. I had family issues that needed my
attention, and I also had a family member die of cancer all during that time. Since
moving to Tennessee in March, I have not had contact with BGSU until June or July
2013. I had found out about the bill amount, and I didn’t think I had to pay the amount
because I was going to a different college at Columbia State Community College in
Franklin, TN. I assumed there was a 6 month grace period after you graduate or quit
college when you start paying the amount due to the Bowling Green State University. I
found out they had paid back Financial Aid for the money not used, and I didn’t have the
grace period because it was now due to the actual campus, not the government owned
Financial Aid Services. I have now made payment arrangements of a minimum payment
of $100 a month on the 10
th
of each month. My last payment was on May 12, 2014 of
$100, and will continue to be withdrawn from my bank account at Suntrust on June 10,
2014, and the 10
th
every month until paid in full. I have attached a letter showing my
payment arrangement. You may contact ESCI creditors at 1-888-549-3274. My
confirmation # is ___________ and account # is 10000___________.
