Not received payment from a 3rd party PLEASE ADVISE
Hiya, I started childminding for 2 children on the last week in September and the college the parent was attending were to pay the childcare costs once they has sorted the parents bursary. I filled in the relevant paperwork the college required for the parent to claim costs as well as the contract. However I have not yet received any payment despite numerous phone calls to the college and now the parent has given verbal notice to me with immediate effect as she is leaving the area.
As the parent signed the contract and not the college, where do I stand in terms of claiming the fees incurred legally and would they be obliged to also pay the notice period?
I have an awful feeling that I'm not going to have a very good standing point legally as the contract was with the parent and not the college. Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks Xx
