Hey, what did you guys decide regarding our (UniSFA's) account? We only found out through the account lock warning email that this was even a thing and then no one responded to our queries about it besides GOZ, who came to us separately to tell us we needed to pay. I spoke to our last two presidents and they don't know anything about this either. MRD pointed out we were meant to be charged but you guys just haven't been doing so for however long. So I'm really wondering what is going on.
