    Default Got a bit of a dilemma part 2

    Well on Monday I gave the mother a letter stating that if she didn't pay me in full I would withdraw the childs place and start to add a late payment charge of £5 per day including weekends. I rang NCMA the next day and oooops found out I wasn't allowed to withdraw the place as I was working out 4 weeks notice.

    Anyway today low and behold - SHE PAID ME IN FULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY.

    I don't actually believe a word she has said about her company not paying her and no doubt I will being going through the same thing when I give her Augusts invoice but at least I have some money to take my own children out when we go on hols for the next couple of weeks.

    Thanks everybody for all your advice

    Whoo well done glad you got paid. Thankfully at least the mum didn't know you couldn't do that!!!

    I would have a word or two and say that you hope that there won't be a problem next month and if she feels there is could she be upfront with you asap and/ or you are more than happy to accept fees from now on, on a weekly basis so it makes it perhaps easier for her if she is finding things difficult! Ever so sweetly of course

    Her Auntie is a childminder so she may have asked her if I was able to do that but hey never mind I got what I have worked blooming hard for!!!
