Hi everyone
Wondered if anyone has had to chase up a parent who has left owing four week notice period.
Recently had a parent who found alternative child care over a shift pattern without going too much into detail. She then complained to Ofsted about me saying i had breeched her confidentiality.
Anyway after i wrote to Ofsted they were quite happy with my letter and wrote back saying no action will be taken.
Fact still remains that she owes over four hundred pounds!
Written to her once and not followed up yet because was waiting for Ofsted reply.
HELP!
p.s. I am insured with Morton Michel

forget the nicey nicey approach get her to small claims court you can register with them online it cost £30 last time i did it and then they do all the rest although i would send her a final notice letter with the bill itemiised and the charge for the claim included put the reference details of the claim on the letter so she can see you're serious then go for it. either she'll pay up without question as my parent did or you take her to court and if you have to lose a days' money while you're at court charge her that too
sorry harsh i know but small business go bankrupt through non paying customers and that's what the small claim court is for
good luck mandy xx

I had this happen to me in June this year and l lost over £400 mum told me on the Wednesday that they would be finishing on the Friday as she was losing her job and she could not afford to pay me.
I tried to explain but unfortunatley I lost the money, but luckly for me I filled me space really quick.
Sorry not much help really.
