[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would send a brief email that her account needs to be paid in full before she can drop her child off for care this week. Sometimes you get lucky and they manage to round up payment. If she rebuttals, keep replying with a simple repeat of "Your account needs to be paid in full before childcare will resume."

Do you have a signed contract with her? If so that will help with collecting payment, should she not show up with payment this week.

This week sounds like a good week to end care. I would not announce that now though. If she knows care will end anyhow, there is little incentive for her to pay what is owed promptly. It's hard, but important to stand firm and not provide and more services risking being owed even more. The longer a client gets behind on payment, the more challenging it becomes for them to ever get caught up.
If she does not pay up this week, I would attempt one more letter letting her know you will be turning her account over to a collection agency should she not pay by a set date you decide on.

Op here. She responded and said she doesn't have the money and needs to pay me next check. She also says that I am harassing her for the money and she doesn't want me to take care of her daughter anymore.
