Go into your bank monday, asap. Ask them to unblock your account or increase the limit for the day.
Then pay using the interac option so that the payment gets their instantly.
In the event that you pay late, you will get charged.

The late fee charge is something trivial like 15 dollars. It's pointless. You have until the end of September to pay your fees on your PA, otherwise you are subject to 1.2% interest on the amount owing, per month.
Regardless, even if you waited a few months, it wouldn't be terrible. A few hundred bucks, if that.

That's: - food for 2 - 3 weeks
- 1 or more textbooks / courseware packages
- gym membership for the year
- etc.
"A few hundred bucks" is a lot of money for a student. |

The point I was getting at is it would be trivially easy to get that extra, if necessary. It's not something like it would double your total owing costs, where you would need to pay an extra 16k or something ludicrous.
In essence, if he was nip and tuck for every penny, the former would be much more feasible, and realistic to pay off.

Well, most students are cash strapped -- and even if they weren't they'd much rather spend that money elsewhere.
I don't see why people would want to put off paying their tuition. Understandably, the OP is concerned and is trying to figure out a way to avoid paying extra charges.

The late fee for payment is $35, if you do not pay by Sept 1st. However, at the end of the month, interest will also start adding up (1.2%), but I'm sure you will have solved it by then  !

I sent my fees in through my bank, not interact. But they haven't gotten it yet although I sent it in 2 weeks ago. Im hoping that I wont be charged cause I'm out 11k. So, I guess interact is the way to go  |

It's pretty secure, if you check the site, I wasn't too sure about using it though, so I just decided to stick to the normal banking :(, even though it takes much longer than Interac.
