Some help for my sister

[help_2015]

Hello all,

 

Got some really good advice before so would appreciate some more,

 

Family member of mine works part time as a entertainment agent for a company ( providing bands etc ), they pay her a set amount for shows and then she pays the acts/ does some of the promo/ takes a percentage herself from it- they book/ pay for multiple shows in advance

 

She has recently gone through a really rough time - she suffered a very severe sexual attack - and she has been in and out of hospital/ counselling the last few weeks, due to an injury suffered she will be having an operation tomorrow. She is overdue in a few invoices to acts but the venue has very kindly said they will pay them this week if she returns the money to them- she has a very good working relationship with them and they really appreciate the work she has put in

 

She has 4 future dated shows that she is also going to return the money for as she wants to get herself back to feeling good/healthy again before starting again

 

My question is what is an acceptable timeframe for this? She needs to get out to the bank to organise it - as not in a account she accesses online and needs to move some bits around- the money is sa

 

If she writes to them ( or I will for her ) saying all future show payments and the overdue invoice payment will be returned within 28 days is this acceptable business wise?

 

Obviously my concern right now is trying to alleviate pressure on her and getting her to recover from this

 

Is there a template letter for a business to pay within 28 days that I can adapt? Any help massively appreciated

 

Many thanks

Hi there

 

Sorry to hear what has happened to your Sister. I hope that with yoru support she gets through this traumatic time.

 

As it is a Sunday things are a little slower round here. If you do not get any response within 24 hours please use the report post option on the bottom left of your message.

 

Sadly as this is mainly a consumer forum there will not be any templates for this scenario, but if you hang around some site members may be able to help.

 

Kind Regards
