How much experience do they have with foreign students?

I got onto them to clarify the payment. Turns out they charged me for my friends flight, he had rented a Piper Arrow for an hour, they explained that they couldn't charge my friend for the flight as his payment rejected so seen as they had my details they decided to charge me and let me chase the payment from him!!!
Not unreasonable in itself, he is (was?) a friend of yours and obviously you went there together and flew together.
They could have asked you first...but then again you friend could have paid first time round. You could also have asked your friend to reimburse you.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to run after people to pay their bill.
Some of you (students/customers) really seem to have a financial screw loose.
Absolutely no hestation to start $60K worth of training with a provider that you have chosen after 5 min of research but when you get there find it normal to rack up thousands of $'s on your account and get all huffy-puffy if we ask you to pay.
