Got a massive headache over something that has made me feel terrible!
Parent had late fee's incurred from 28th Feb 2013.
Invoiced for late fee's.
Parent refused to pay.
I then decided monthly payment was no longer working and informed parent that payment has to be weekly from now on... was this right?
Parent picked up her children today along with somebody she claimed was a lawyer who should not have even been with her.
Parent refused to look at all proof including her signature, initially agreed it was her signature but then proceeded to say everything was fake, all contracts were not real hence null and void.
Parent then terminated contract with immediate effect (how can you terminate something that is not real?) and then refused to pay me for todays work and also refused to pay 4weeks notice peroid then walked off.
Parent has also written a letter accusing us of acting unlawfully by charging late fee's and is refusing to pay anything. The Parent has highlighted "The Late Payment of Commercial Debt Interest Act 1998" but looking at this she is claiming to be a commercial entity?
I am just very annoyed that this has happend! Other parents have paid late and then accepted the late fee, I thought late fee's were to stop this? But now she is arguing that it is illegal what do I do now?
Great easter break this is :(
