We were sent a link to a .edu site asking us to fill out one of the numerous forms on that page.

FFN should be able to send the forms it requires it's affiliates to fill out and that is what I have asked for.

The notice we received about account termination makes the claim we had previously been asked to fill out the form and not complied, which is a lie. The very first mention of these forms was the notice of account termination and forfeiture of earnings.

As I said, this reeks of being a cash grab.

tobe87 - I am hardly ever on ICQ, why don't you post the direct telephone number of someone in authority at your accounting department so we can speak to them like we would any other company ?
