Afternoon everyone
I was looking after 2 children (siblings) and have been doing so for approx 6 months. The last week in July the Mum came to me and said the little ones would be off for 3 weeks in August. I explained that as stated in the contract i need 4 weeks notice for her to use any of the 2 weeks free holiday she is entitled to. She was not happy so i was very good with her and allowed her 2 weeks free with her just having to pay for the 1 extra week they wouldnt be here. It came to the day before payment was due and i received a txt saying she couldnt pay me at all as her work hadnt paid her (she is in the army). I tried to come to an agreement with her however explained i needed the fees as it was my income. Her response to this was 'well now you have no income as im not bringing the children back' I sent her a final invoice along with a letter in the post giving her 7 days to pay and i heard nothing from her. I phoned NCMA legal advice this morning and they explained they would send out debt letters to her. I just wondered if anyone else had been in this situation and what happened? will i get the fees one way or another?
Many thanks
