Agree with Feeling Old you should get paid through your notice period. sp if your contract states it then the parents ought to pay up. I agree with calling NCMA if you are using thier contracts. they will probably give good advice.
I would send a letter with a final bill asking for it to be paid ASAp with a photocopy of the relevant bit of the contract and the final page with their signature on it so at they can't deny they didn't know about it. ( If they didn't read it then that is their problem not yours).
Good luck

If you use NCMA contracts state that they are legally binding, therefore whatever was agreed when they signed the contract they will have to pay for.
Having said that ,if you are a member of NCMA I would give them a ring before writing a letter to ask their advice.
