Smart Tuition Smart Tuition scams parents paying private school tuition with unnecessary late fees and non-existant charges Woodbridge, New Jersey

My school never informed its parents of this service being put in to use. We only found out after school started. I am still not sure why I am being billed as I have paid the entire tuition.

They sent an invoice with a 15 day time period to pay $50 to use its services and if the $50 doesn't reach them and get posted in time, they will charge an additional $50. I have emailed the company 4 times, asking them to take me off their list. I have tried to explain that I did not owe any tuition at all for the entire school year, and would not be paying $50 to be in their system. They are continuing to send the bill anyway.

After reading hundreds of complaints all over the Internet as well as at the Better Business Bureau, regarding how Smart Tuition charges these late fees routinely, even when the check reaches them ( their excuse to everyone has been that although they cashed the check, it takes time to post it to their system)  it's pretty easy to deduce that this company is running a scam operation. Any school that would force this on its students is either not doing its diligent research about the company or is in on the scam.
