Parentpay - Paid £250 for school meals - Son now takes packed lunch - Can I get money back?

[Johnb0y]

As it says ... he does spend some money at school but I'd rather get most of the money out.

Contact the school and ask if it can be refunded. It should be possible.

Our school has given me refunds for various things paid for on Parentpay.

I would ask your son's school and see what they say.

The parent pay website tells you to contact you’re school and they will refund you.
DS left mid year and they popped it onto dd’s Account but you can just as easily remove money.

I suspect they won't. I believe (after some irate people last year) that they don't refund anything left when your child leaves.

That must be a school decision. I looked last year (only had a few pounds left on ds's lunch account), and it said to contact the school. Parentpay don't have any power over the money once it's been paid.

You need to contact the school. I have been able to transfer balances for certain items to other things, even between my children.

I did this last year. School meal payments are the exception and are up to the caterer to refund, not the school.
The caterer refunds it to parent pay and then parent pay refunds it to the card you paid it with.
