I received a check to my house, but I dont know what it is!!!

[DarkCreep]

Hey all
I was expecting my FAFSA check to come in(B16 hmm) and my mom calls me and tells me my FAFSA check for $2400 is at my house. When I pick it up its for $24.00.
It says Tax Relief and Refund account. What exactly does it mean?? It looks legit, not telling me to buy s**t or anything. Anyone else gotten these??


PS: California only!

You really shouldnt use your fafsa money on engine swaps.. You kinda have to pay that back with interest

Also if the government finds out it wsn't used for wht it was intended (Financial Aid for EDUCATION), I think you get a big ass fine, you have the pay the money back and also pay back the interst.

Stop being dumb and use the FASFA money for your education and not you're damn car. Your car is not THAT important.

You dont have to pay back FAFSA.
And my motor swap is for school, my D16Y7 has 140000+ miles.


But can somebody answer the main question please?

That D16 is good for another few thousand miles.

Use the FAFSA for you're school, not because you're 140K mile honda engine is getting "old".

 

[CajunRicer]

s**t, my D16 has 177xxx on it and still running smooth

 

[AutoFanatik]

no one knows what the check was for, try calling the return address and ask them.

and DO NOT SPEND FAFSA on a motor...thats just SILLY

My D16Y8 is coming up on 147,000 miles and still going strong. I've seen a lot more with tons more miles than mine too.

Bringing up mileage is just an excuse.

And YES, if the government figured out that you scammed them, they will want the money back and then some.

It's meant to help cover for school. Books, tuition and such. Only school related though.

How did you apply for it and have no clue what it is?

 

[Jimmy2times]

idk but 235k is sounding sweet in my car.

 

[dank24]

And look where you're at

Making 48k locally in shitty paid small city.

i'll give you my LS motor and you give me the FAFSA check, i'd rather get some money for school right now

If you have any doubts, DO NOT TAKE IT TO YOUR BANK. I work at a check cashing place and I see a lot of people who have applied for any loan or grant, they get a check and deposit it right away and the original writer is a fraud and they use the deposit as a means to get your routing and account # and clean you out. Take it to either your bank or a check cashing place and have them check it out for yo first.

 

[plumers]

it's probably part of your tax refund

 

[Genuine Rolla]

don't waste money on a swap...freaking spend it on something that'll actually benefit you for the rest of your life.

that doesn't make any sense

i used to have an '87 Accord LXi and even at 354,000 miles it was still very strong. i gave it away and i hear from the owner that it still hasn't broken down and hit 400,000 a year ago. and my '93 Accord has 210,000 and it keeps up real nicely with my girlfriends 4th gen Prelude. and my little d16z is at 157,000 and still good. but yeah don't do a swap with the money, use it for school. if not i'll take it!
i need some, i am so broke!!!

When I was in school I got 1500 back per semester and that money I would give about a g to the parents to help out with bills and the rest I would spend quicker then a gambling addict in vegas.

1. Don't spend it on your car. Waste right there.
2. My car has 188,8xxk, close to 189k and it STILL runs 100% fine. I wouldn't doubt it lasting 250k+ and still running fine.
3. You REALLY need to reset your priorities if you're even CONSIDERING spending a FAFSA check on your car.
