How long should you hold onto financial records for? I had a sorority I was part of in college send me an invoice they said I owed... from 8 years ago. Since it was 8 years ago, I have no idea whether or not that's accurate because I don't have records from that far back. I feel like they shouldn't be able to do that, but also, I can't dispute it because it's been so long, so maybe I didn't pay everything off before I left. But I don't know. I do know it makes me angry, because if I really do owe... why are they sending me an invoice now and not closer to when I actually graduated?
Um, that is ABSURD. Since they want your money, the burden of proof should be on them. Make them show you receipts! Ask for a full, itemized record of your charges and payments. I'm willing to bet they won't be able to come up with it, in which case they'll forgive the invoice.
Anyway I'm mad too. Fuck 'em!
