I recently got a notice from the State revenue service threatening to take action to collect $700 from me by garnishing my wages, etc....
So this is a state university?

I guess by signing that particular paper I was bound to pay a $500 deposit fee regardless of whether or not I cancelled my application.
Stop guessing and read the application - did you or did you not commit to paying the $500 "deposit" / application fee?

After a lot of paperwork and email correspondence with the program coordinator I received an email from the foreign university stating that because I applied past the deadline I was ineligible to participate in the program, which is why I cancelled my application.
So you weren't rejected - you were told what you already knew (that you applied past the deadline), but changed your mind and withdrew rather than seeing if in fact you would be able to get in as "The woman who ran the particular program" told you?

Is disputing this viable?
What efforts have you made with the university to dispute or negotiate over the bill?
