Hello, sorry to hear about your daughter's problems. This happened recently on the forum and I'll post a link to that on your thread. We haven't heard the outcome yet, it's probably too early.

 

The disappointing thing is that in both cases, the college don't seem to have been very helpful.

 

The way to go on the missing money would probably be a letter headed Letter before Action to let them know you're serious. And yes, I would claim for bank charges; she wouldn't have paid them if her wages had been on time.

 

You could also have a look at the ACAS and directgov websites. ACAS have a confidential helpline you can ring.

This thread is worth a read for you. Some of it's about holidays, but there are also posts on dealing with the college is you need to.

This thread is about unpaid wages, amongst other things, should be helpful.
