Did you miss the payment deadline of January 25?
A late charge of $75 was applied to your account on the last day of the month and a monthly interest rate of 1.2% gets charged on the second-last business day of the month on the unpaid balance.
Don’t panic! You can still pay your fees now to avoid further charges and having a service block added to your account (which prevents things like enrolment).
