Yes I got tough !! Sent a text because by noon they hadn't contacted me to pay so I just informed calmly that if payment wasn't made in full by today that their spot was terminated . She was still trying to set a payment . I informed her that a detailed contract would be issued and a pay increase to start in jan ( my fee was way !! Too low )
So long story short - they are gone . I'm not out any money ! I have a spot open and I'm not a 'newbie' anymore !!! Lesson learnt !!!
