A Mackay couple facing legal trouble over hefty fees owed to a private Mackay school admitted to owing the money as their counterclaim was quashed.
Michael and Nicole Saunders told Mackay Magistrates Court they accepted that they owed money to Whitsunday Anglican School, but were disputing when it needed to be paid by.
The school is suing the Saunders for $39,705.27 over outstanding school fees between 2014 and 2018.
Mr and Mrs Saunders, who had four children enrolled at Whitsunday Anglican School, told the court they were facing financial difficulties in 2014 and as a result entered into a payment plan over school fees.
