credit card information

I gave my credit card information to the school but they haven't charged me for the course I'm taking so I go to the front desk and say:

If I don't have to pay that would be sweet! So, please let me know what's going on because I've been in school for a week and still haven't been charged.

OR

If I didn't have to pay that would be sweet! So, please let me know what's going on because I've been in school for a week and still haven't been charged.

For some reason the first one sounds better but seems grammatically correct.

Either is fine. Your use of 'sweet' indicates that this is a casual conversation, so it makes no difference which you use; the intent is the same.
