...for ages, and she's leaving in 3 weeks. I knew that she hadn't paid them for a while, but she said that her mum and dad would pay when they came across for a visit (fortnight ago). I asked her this week if they had, and she said no. She owes around £200. She said that she will pay, deducting an amount for some lessons when her teacher was away and she had to go in with the lower level group (fair enough I think?). However, I don't think that she really intends to.
Is it the language schools fault for being lax? She said that a couple of other ap's have left without paying up. It's a private school, and they do cheap rates for ap's -£4 per hour.
Not sure what to do about it. There isn't enough time left for me to deduct anything from her wages to pay them. She also owes me over a weeks wages in phone call charges (ringing her boyfriend overseas on his mobile). I haven't signed anything with the language school, so I have no agreement with them, but they will have my address and phone details.
I know that this makes her morals on the whole look a bit suspect, but I think she just thinks that it isn't harming anyone... She isn't going to run out early (I hope!) as she already has her train and ferry booked for her leaving date, and has just been let down by her summer job, so doesn't really have much to run back to.
