I finally got fed up with my serial late payer on friday.
She is supposed to pay her fees weekly in advance - its monthly in advance for everyone else but this doesnt suit her so i allowed weekly- But its always the end of the week which again i have allowed as long as i get paid by the end of the week its ok.
Every other week or even every week there is a different excuse as to why she cant pay - most of which i dont beleive as i have caught her out several times - she always says can she pop round later with the money and i grudgeingly say ok - short of holding her son hostage til she pays i dont really have a choice!
friday just past usual story - ex is away and hasnt given her the money blah blah blah can she give me the money later - this is at lunchtime - i say as long as i have it by close of business on friday thats ok.
No money appears so i text at 7pm saying i need to be paid on time from now on or i am charging late fees of £5 per day. she replied saying ex hubby has the car etc ( she could walk to mine in 10 mins!) i say ok that will be an extra £10 for the weekend then. An hour later shes at the door with the money!!
Gosh thats a long post for such a small thing but it just made my day that i finally stuck up for myself and got my money.:jump for joy:
