Charge for half term

[S Stars]

Hi

I have a child who I have a couple days a week however they are not sending him during half term as meeting up with family etc.
they normally pay by cheque but we are changing it to direct debit as of this week but I haven't received the money.
I am sure it's just that they have forgotten, as they haven't seen me - whats the best way to gently nudge them!!? I feel a bit awkward about asking as I haven't actually had him!!
but we do have a year round contract
Thanks x

Just send a text and say you wondered if they had had chance to set up the direct debit as the money hasn't appeared in your account yet, had to do this myself last weekend and chase it ., really hate it it's hard to phrase it isn't it? Hope you get it sorted

In this situation I would also send a text saying just a reminder that such and such was due on such a such date. Usually the parents say whoops sorry, or it's already been sent it should be clearing. Good luck

Thanks so much for advice! The money side is the worst part of this job isn't it!!
I checked my account again before sending and its gone in! Phew!
