DD goes to breakfast club and afterschool club 5 days a week as I work full time. She has been going since March this year. The first half term that she went, the organiser gave me an invoice almost immediately however that was only after I asked her for one to provide as evidence for the childcare element of tax credits.
Now that is the only invoice I have ever received from them. In the summer term, as I knew that the fees were circa £50 per week, I generally gave them that, or perhaps sometimes it was £100 for two weeks etc. I kept a note of how much I gave them (£600 in total for the summer term). In the last couple of weeks of the term, I asked the organiser if she could just let me know how much money left I had to pay. Her answer was "no problem, I'll give it to you next week". Next week I received nothing, and reminded her again that I will settle the rest of how much I needed to pay .... I received nothing, and didn't get told verbally either how much I needed to pay.
It has been the same thing this term, but the fees have gone up, and also with it being a longer term it there will be more to pay. I have so far paid £600 in cash, and once again have asked the organiser if she could let me know how much left I have to pay (I'm not asking for a breakdown invoice - a slip of torn paper with a figure on will do me) and once again, I have been fobbed off with "Oh I'll give it to you tomorrow/next week/never "
I know one of the other mums sits down and works out herself how much to owe each week, however I am too lazy not organised enough to do that.
So AIBU to just leave it (with a reminder each week to the organiser) and not pay any more money so I don't risk overpaying? (Writing it down like that I fear IABU but general consensus?)
