What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I am an officer of a no profit cheerleading organization in N.J.. For the past five months I have been trying to collect past due fees from three families whose children participated in our organization in 2001/2002. Below I have listed the particular situations.
My questions are : What is the next step for me to take? Small claims court? Can I win? Can I add postage and court costs to the claim?
Situation : I mailed monthly statements to their home(some certified mail). I finaly recieved a nasty letter and a payment of $25.00 toward the balance of $523.88 from Family A. Did the same mailings for family B and recieved a payment of $50.00 toward a balance of $258.12. This mom explained that finances were tough right now and she would continue to make monthly payments. I have not recieved any further payments. Family c has been notified by regular mail and certified mail and has not responded at all. They owe a balance of $938.04.
Payments will not work for our organization as we have bills to pay to.
I am not sure if it matters. But all of these children have proclaimed to leave because we had a bad season last year. and are presently enrolled with other organizations and are current on their fees. fees that far exceed what they owe to our organization.Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
