Hi I am in a bit of a dilema. I used to run a business with my partner but left last MArch as I hadn't been paid for 3 months and had to find something that was secure.
she paid me drips and drabs for a will and in October I set up a signed agreement that she would pay me back £66 a month for 10 months. (£660 owed in total)
She pays £20 into my bank account and I pick £46 in cash.
This was fine for october and november but dec only £20 went into bank. She kept saying she didn't have cash. I have rung every week since and this week she agreed to write me a cheque for £46 last month and half of this month.
Paid it into bank but this morning it came back in the post - bounced!
So she now owes me £46 from last month and on 27th will owe me £46 for this month plus I have no idea if I will get £20 into my bank.
She still owes me £508.
I need some advice.
Can I demand the full amount? I am worried the business is going down the drain and I will never see my money. Please help!

Small claims court?

Not sure how to officially become a creditor, but that could be a good step. Or is that the burden of your signed agreement?

Yes you can demand the full amount. Send a letter, recorded delivery so she can't deny receiving it, saying she still owes you x amoutn and asking for x to be paid by y date.

If that doesn't work, you could go down the small claims court route, but that takes time and has a cost involved.
