University keeps emailing student for $1.96 unpaid bill in viral TikTok video TIKTOK: JO_SIFA college student has been receiving non-stop emails from his university, trying to collect a $1.96 unpaid bill in viral TikTok video. The TikToker who posts under the handle jo_sif, has slammed the College of William and Mary for sending him multiple reminders of a small unpaid fee, despite the college\u2019s $1.3 billion endowment. In the viral clip, which has over 2 million views, the TikToker added text on the video which reads, \u201cNot my $1.3B endowed school hitting me up for $2 the past 8 months.\u201d He then proceeds to show a series of emails from the college, revealing the $1.96 total amount he owes. The video ends with a screen grab video of him emailing the university back \u201care you guys hurting for the $1.96 or do y\u2019all got this.\u201d If anyone\u2019s wondering if he really sent it, the viral video is captioned \u201cyes I really sent the email.\u201d The TikToker, whose real name is Joseph, has since posted updates to his followers. In follow-up clips, he revealed that the Bursar\u2019s Office was attempting to collect unpaid printing fees from him. He responded to another email, that \u201csince it\u2019s been 8 months I\u2019m assuming there are no consequences of not paying it right?\u201d Joseph also didn\u2019t miss the chance to ask the college if they\u2019re \u201churtin’\u201d for the money again, before dancing shirtless with his middle fingers held up. TikTok react to Joseph\u2019s petty unpaid bill Most people were annoyed for Joseph, and didn\u2019t quite understand the need to pay for such a small fee. \u201cI once got a doctor\u2019s bill for 32 cents\u2026 the cost of the stamp was 50 cents\u2026. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE,\u201d one user shared. \u201cThey\u2019ll hit you up a bunch of times for a dollar, but won\u2019t give you your lunch money back on your account if you have left over,\u201d another user commented \u201cImagine having to email someone for $1.96\u201d someone else added. One user asked Joseph to just pay the bill, prompting the TikToker to respond \u201cno thanks.\u201d According to statistics from last year, America remains one of the most expensive countries in the world to go to college, as it was ranked as second country with the highest tuition fees. When it comes to student debt, the average student debt owed by American students reached a record high of $40,904 in 2021. Collectively, they owe a whopping of $1.75 trillion. Perhaps, this is why people were not happy about the constant reminders of a small unpaid fee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
