How long can my university ask for Erasmus+ money back?
<p>I just got an email from my university claiming that they paid too much Erasmus+ money for my study-abroad period and asking me to pay back the amount within the next two weeks.</p>
<p>Since I received my first installment of the grant more than a year ago, I was wondering whether they can still ask me for the money back? After all, there is no way that any person would wait more than a year to see whether they have been paid too much.</p>

<h2>Read your contract</h2>
<p>If they can get overpaid money back will be in there and how they go about doing it will be in there too. Probably.</p>
<p>If it isn’t, then the default rule is that if I overpay you, I’m entitled to change.</p>
<p>There are statutory limits on how long I have to commence legal action to recover a debt - 6-7 years is typical but statutes of limitations vary be jurisdiction.</p>
