Last spring i babysat for a Woman of 3 kids & 2 in diapers. Since then she never paid me. What should i do?
Answer:
it was almost a year ago and you proally didnt have a contract or recipts. you should consider it a favor because she is having a hard time, just let it go and see if se needs any help. be the good neighbor. i have the same problem but i just forgot about it. her kids wernt bad anyways. what comes around goes around, just let it go. you will be doing her a huge favor.
I hate to say it but I really don't think there is anything you can do. Sorry, Good Luck!
take her to court
Take out a Small Claim against her, from your local County Court.
I suggest you take her to small claims court...You did her a service and she needs to pay you for that service. Sounds like she is taking advantage of you. You have a solid case.
I would take her to small claims court after letting her know thats what you intend to do. Maybe the warning will make her pay up.
not much after all this time .you could try taking legal action. but if i was you i would put it down to experience.
Unless you have anything in wrting or a contract you have no hope. I t would be your word against hers. If you took to petty claims court she might admit owing you the money but you'd be relying on her honesty.
Its a pain but keep reminding her she owes the money ...and i do think its smart to offer that she pay a small amount out over time...like $10.00 every Friday...along those lines. Its not fair that she not pay you, but its incumbant upon you to be in her face and demand to be paid. Good Luck
Unless you had a written agreement stating you were happy to wait until she had money for payment then there isn't a lot you can do I'm afraid!
I think that this woman has taken advantage of your kind nature!!
You have been so reasonable for so long and are even willing to let her pay in smaller amounts.....
I also think that others on here are right - without a contract i doubt you wuld make any head way in taking her to the small claims court - however, maybe she doesn't know that and the threat will be enough to make her pay up.
I am afraid you may just have to let it go.
