Tutor accuses dad of Primary 4 pupil of owing $195 in tuition fees, makes police report

A father of a St Joseph's Institution Junior Primary 4 pupil is accused of not paying a tutor for tuition services.

A Stomper said that she is owed $195 in tuition fees and shared screenshots of the WhatsApp chat between the father and her.

In the messages, the father said: "I'll be paying you for the time that you came obviously. Not those times you didn't."

The tutor replied "I'm not keen in arguing with you. Please make the payment before the end of July and may you find a suitable tutor."

On Aug 1, the Stomper messaged the father again: "Please make payment for the lessons in the first three weeks of July which I had come."

After the father did not reply, the tutor sent a copy of a police report dated Aug 2 with the message: "I've launched a police report. He can choose to continue to ignore or make the payment right now. How embarrassing as he is a fully grown man."

The Stomper later sent a notice of consultation at the Small Claims Tribunal.

When asked by Stomp why the father refused to pay, the tutor said: "Because we ended on an unhappy note where I told the father the student was misbehaving so much. The father thought I should just bear with it. We didn’t agree on that, but we agreed to end my tuition service. And he just didn’t pay for the rest of the sessions which I turned up for."

In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed that a report was lodged.

She's so naive to think that our blue poodles will even bother wasting time investigating this frivolous complaint?

That’s why so many policemen are needed…. To solve these useless mundane cases.

Is this a criminal case or a commercial case? If it's commercial matter police will not interfere
