2510C - DELINQUENT STUDENT TEXTBOOK RENTAL FEES

The following procedure is to be used to collect delinquent textbook rental fees.

  1. Prior to September 30th of each school year, a letter will be sent to the parents of any student who is delinquent in the payment of the first semester rental fees. (See Form 2510 F2)

  2. Prior to October 15th, the principal should send a letter to the parent. The Form Letter will show a collection fee to be added to any delinquent amounts that are not paid so that the collection agencies' fee will be paid, allowing the schools to receive 100% of the actual book rental fee rather than 50%.

  3. If the delinquent rental has not been paid by November 1st, all relevant information concerning such delinquency will be given to a collection agency providing that the student does not qualify for free textbooks.

  4. The Building Treasurer or bookstore clerk will examine and investigate all delinquent rental referrals and will give qualified individuals a second opportunity to complete the Inability-To-Pay Form. S/He will then determine which accounts are appropriate for the filing of a complaint in small claims court or to be turned over to a collection agency.

  5. Prior to the filing of any such action, the collection agency will advise those individuals who are delinquent of the Corporation's intent to seek the court's assistance in the collection of the accounts and will further give those individuals a final opportunity to correct the problem.

  6. The Corporation Treasurer will then proceed with the filing of complaints in small claims court against those individuals who refuse to reply to the final notice letter or fail to pay the delinquent rental.
