Billing Information
Your monthly statements come in an email from "Intuit" on approximately the 15th of every month. Please see that these do not go to your "spam" folder. All monthly installments are payable by the 10th of the following month. Payments received after the the 10th may not appear on your next statement.
Please either give your payment directly to your teacher or mail to our post office box: School for Strings; P. O. Box 610046, Port Huron, MI, 48061-0046. The post office does not deliver mail to our physical address and your payment could be lost in the mail.
Monthly statements list all charges, with the date, the item and fee plus any payments received in the far left column. Your running balance shows in the far right column. Find the amount due in the bottom square of that (far right column).
For any questions concerning your statement, please contact the director, Dr. Brown, directly as our bookkeeper will not have the information to answer your questions or change your statement.
