Online payment help?

Question

i was applying for college online last night. i was paying for it through applyweb.com and you can pay with a credit card or a check. i tried to pay with a check and i typed in the router number and account number and hit submit but it went back to the same page with all the info erased. i didnt recieve a confirmation email or confirmation screen, so i used my debit card instead and it worked. i dont know if the electronic check went through or not. should i call my bank to have it cancelled and to see if it went through? can i? or what should i do so im not charged twice? thanks

it said before i paid that it would take 6 days to process the check thats why im worried because i dont know if it would send a confirmation email after the 6 days or what

Answer 1

You would've received a confirmation email immediately, not 6 days later.

You could call the college finance department and see if they've received one or two payments from you.

It also wouldn't hurt to let your bank know what happened, especially if it's a small 'hometown' bank. They might be willing to put an alert on your account for 2 matching amounts trying to clear (or something like that).

Good luck with your studies!
