<prompt> Human: In college I lived in an apartment for just 6 weeks. I bought my contract from someone who lived there before. Each contract was only 13 weeks long, so I finished out her contract. I was waiting on Financial Aid to come in so I could pay my rent, however when it finally came in I totally forgot to pay my rent. They didnt kick me out, I moved out and forgot about paying. Typically, at my college, if you owe your apartment complex money you cant register for classes. Well I just graduated and never got a hold on my registration. However Im nervous that I might owe that money, and it could be affecting my credit score, but dont want to ask the apartment complex as it might have been overlooked and maybe Im reminding them they need to get money from me! Is there a way I can check to see if I owe money to any collectors without notifying this apartment complex?  <response>: Be honest, check with them and pay your dues. Have a free conscience as you set forth in life after college.
