In February I went on Nutrisystem and used Bill Me Later, thinking it would cost $20 a month to pay off the $287.00 charge to Nutrisystem. I have paid on time each month, $20 and sometimes $50.
It is now August and my balance is $257.00. How could my balance be $257.00 when I have submitted over $100, you ask? Well, it seems I get charged $29.00 in late fees. My billing statement begins on the 3rd of each month, so if I were to pay $20 on July 31, it would apply to the month of July and not August. Then on August 3rd they put in the charge of a $29.00 late fee. I have to make each payment on the 1st of the month, otherwise it is late.
This is a total scam! When you make a payment, it should come off your total bill regardless of the time of month you make the payment! I have made several payments in one month, but I still receive a late fee. I called them yesterday, and they said that, as a courtesy, they would take off one of the $29.00 late fees. I said that is not a courtesy, as I should not have been charged to begin with! They are not helpful, nor nice, nor caring.
Do not deal with these people for any reason! If you want to purchase something, use a credit card or save up for it. I do not care if Bill Me Later is your only option. Don't do it!
