I would ring and have them double check. Years ago we got a letter from the RE saying we were in arrears when we knew we weren't, we rang them and they told us that they couldn't work out who had paid in the direct debit so they sent the letter to everyone who rented from them so they could work out who owed.
Ok, well the arrears is right, but I still am not sure how I got that far behind, so I'm going to check through my bank statements coz she did ring once before when I'd been in coz she forgot to put it through on the computer...
I would - because if you owed $600, I'm sure you would know it at the back of your mind and crapped your pants accordingly. I know you are conscious about your money, I would be surprised if you made a mistake like that.
Thats what I'm thinking too. I wanna cry, but I'm going to stop stressing, go spend $20 I don't have on raffles at the club & worry about it tomorrow.

This is why I have direct debit into the RE's account. If they were to say I was behind when I wasn't, I could just go to my bank and request a print out of my direct debits and voila, problem solved.
This happened to us years ago. They said we were about 2 weeks behind and we were sure we wern't. They were adament we were and threatened eviction if we didn't catch up, so we did. About 3 years later the RE got out of rentals altogether and passed all their rentals onto another agency. The new RE found surprise suprise, we were 4 weeks ahead instead of 2, so the 1st RE HAD stuffed up Since then we d/d.
I've been direct debiting lately, but didn't have the details at first. I wanted them, but they tried to get my to sign up for this transfer thing that costs extra, so I didn't worry. Then mum gave me the numbers.
skye i was nearly ?1000 in arrears with my rent but my housing allowance hadnt kicked in so it took awhile to come through but our landlord was ok about it. sounds like something has messed up somewhere huni and i hope you get it sorted. xox
last house was rented private and we gave a 4 weeks rent as deposit. when we went to leave she tried to rip us off 2 weeks. she also claimed that if we wanted to deposit direct it'd be $20 extra a week for rent. I told her she was full of *****!
Well I worked it out. I only owed $10 on top of a weeks rent. It came to $600 coz the extra I'd paid didn't quite make up a full week, so didn't count iykwim?
I pay today & I'm paid up til next Thursday now
