Why did I get a late fee?

In order to avoid a late fee, your balance must be $0 by the end of your Dues Day.

A late fee of $25 is added:

• When your Membership payment is late (payments are considered late when they are paid after your Dues Day)
• If you carry a balance (even if you paid your dues on time this billing period, a late fee will be applied if you still carry a balance from a previous billing period) 

Tips for avoiding late fees:

• Prioritize housing bills over other expenditures: it can be tempting to spend money on other things, but your housing costs will increase significantly if you incur late fees. Make sure you pay our bill on time, and you will save a lot of money!
• Turn on autopay: Log in to your Member Dashboard and click on the "Finances" tab to set up autopay. Scroll down to the "Payment Methods" section and use the toggle button to turn autopay on and off. By turning autopay on you won’t get any more payment reminders! Read this article to find out more. 
• Pay in advance: Instead of waiting to make the payment at the last minute, we recommend paying as soon as you are billed.
