| BILLING CYCLE |
Because our office does not require a deposit or payment at sign-up, services are billed one month behind (i.e. after service is received). Our billing schedule is as follows:
- Invoices are created on the 6th of the month for services received the prior month.
- Invoices (paper or email notifications) are sent by the 15th each month.
- Payment is due by the last day of the month.
- Late fees are applied to unpaid balances 30 days after payment due date.
- Accounts 120 days past the date of the transaction are sent to a collection agency and charges of 33% are added.
Example of Billing Cycle:
- Received OTC service from 9/1/08-9/30/08
- Invoice created on 10/6/08
- Invoice (paper or email notification) received by 10/15/08
- Payment Due Date is 10/31/08
- Late Fees applied on 11/30/08 if no payment is made
|
| CREDITS |
- If a negative (-) sign appears before the total amount due, the account has a credit.
- If the account is closed, a refund will be processed to Accounts Receivable.
- If the student owes any money in Accounts Receivable, those charges will be deducted and the remainder will be refunded to the FSUCard Account.
- Due to the high cost of processing refunds, credits less than $2.00 will not be refunded.
