Need Help with School Fees?

If you are struggling to keep up with school fees at a government school and have fallen into arrears, it is important to act immediately. If you do nothing, the school is legally entitled to take action against you. This can result in costly legal proceedings, where you may end up paying your own legal fees, the school’s attorneys’ fees, and the outstanding school fees. In serious cases, the school may attach and sell your property, obtain a garnishee order against your salary, and you may be listed with the credit bureaus.

This is a serious matter and should not be ignored.

Just as the law requires parents to pay school fees, the same law also provides for fee reductions and full exemptions. You may therefore qualify for a reduction or exemption, even if you were previously told you do not. Before you fall into debt or continue struggling, complete a free assessment. If the results show that you are eligible for savings, we will present this to the school — and, if necessary, escalate the matter to the Department of Education on your behalf.

How It Works

  1. Free Assessment: Simply complete the required fields (no personal details needed), and the system will immediately indicate whether you may qualify for fee discounts or exemptions.
  2. We Handle the Application: If you qualify, we help prepare and present your case to the school and/or Department.
  3. Old Debt Assistance: If we assist you and you qualify, we can also advise whether you have a strong legal basis to challenge or reduce existing school-fee debt.
