imagine yourself being paid see her face at the door handing you the money always works

Mail her a letter saying you will be taking her to small claims court if she doesn't send you a check for what she owes you in 10 working days

I was going to suggest small claims court also, or the embarresment route. This person has most likely stiffed other people, your not the first. If it's a condo or apt bldg print out some flyers and hang in the entrance ways of her bldg and other bldgs in the complex basically telling people their neighbor is a dead beat, if it's a house get the addresses of homes on the block and do the same thing, the cost would be stamps, If your in contact with other self employed domestics spread the word, eventually she'll have to clean her own house.. good luck!

What goes around comes around I think that was the saying goes. It is not an easy question to answer as only hearing one side therefore I cannot give a correct answer for you I'm afraid. Just treat it as a good deed. She will realise the error and the pain she has caused maybe she will one day repay you in her own time. Move along... Life's too short.

Alano, it was only $223, but I needed that money to pay my mechanic who kept my car running. I am tired of calling her home and receiving no answer, just the machine. As far as my work goes, I did her a good turn and that is how she treated me. All I can say is shame on her, it will come back to bite her someday.

put a lean on her house then a bank wont touch her

Does she go to church? If so, find out where. Then write her a nice letter and tell her you're sorry for the apparent financial trouble she's having. Then tell her you plan to speak to someone at her church to see if they have any volunteers they can send over to help her with her future housecleaning. If she doesn't go to church, just name the one closest to her house where she's liable to know people. Who knows, maybe she'll be embarrassed enough to pay you just to keep you from "helping" her.

hi there how much does she owe and what tools did you leave there i am a widowcleaner and get this all the time if its affordable to leave the money and walk away then do it otherwise send her a letter`saying you will call on a certain day to collect outstanding monies and tools left behind dont go down the route of is there anything wrong with the work done she will make somthing up to annoy you i know i found out the hard way hope this helps

You may not be able to collect the monies due you. Change your attitude towards this and see it as an act of kindness and love, forget about the money. You will feel better about it and let God deal with her heart.
