[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As somebody who was actually investigated, I can report being impressed that the chief residency fraud investigator was willing to consider that a personal vendetta may have been behind a tip that wasn't anonymous (it was indeed). We were given the name of the tipster and a chance to describe our relationship with her.  We turned in a bunch of extra docs proving residency at the investigator's office, consented to a home visit (which didn't go forward) and that was it.  Cleared, the system worked.[/quote]

Of course, even if there were a vendetta or personal beef between you and whoever reported you, if your residency didn't actually check out, you'd still be charged for tuition.[/quote]

Sure, but I felt like we got the benefit of the doubt in the investigation partly because we could document the complainer's antipathy toward us (a nasty quote in a local rag). The investigator didn't come down on us like a ton of bricks or rush to judgement. [/quote]

There is due process built into the system. You have an opportunity to prove that you are not committing fraud, and you did by producing the certified tax records and so forth. The investigator also has an obligation not to disrespect or prejudge a person being investigated.[/quote]
