I hate to admit, but I also wouldn't have noticed. I don't balance a checkbook, just check my account every so often to make sure there is no weird transactions. I know it's terrible, but I just don't do it.
Never Cashed the Check...

I would have noticed because I am more than a little OCD about numbers. My husband on the other hand would have never noticed.
As a parent I would have asked after two weeks if you lost the check and needed another. As a provider I would have handled it exactly the way you did.- Flag

I'd be careful about jumping to the conclusion that they are trying to get away with not paying for daycare. They likely never noticed.
Did their response make you believe that they thought they were getting away without paying for a week earlier this year?- Flag

Unless they've done it before, I wouldn't jump to conclusions either. I balance my checkbook every month but my husband never does. It's one of the few things I nag him about but it never does any good. I could see where he could have a similar situation happen and never realize the check hadn't cleared.- Flag

Another vote for I probably wouldn’t have noticed. I have never balanced my checkbook, I just check online for anything fishy.- Flag

Just curious as to why you are upset with them? Did they say something to make you think they thought they wouldn't have to pay it?
I always know when a check hasn't cleared because I write very few, but it wouldn't necessarily concern me if a check doesn't clear for awhile.- Flag

I would be more apt to notice the income discrepancy than the payment side. That being said, $350 is a lot either way, so I agree with you...I think they noticed, never said anything (maybe just waiting for it to clear...My b/a school care pymt takes a month to post!) and then forgot about it or chose to see how long it takes to come back around.If it's a large company, I might wait it out too, but not when it comes to my provider. My b/a care took so long that I asked the first month they were there and was told it just takes awhile to deposit checks from all locations, but I was worried they didnt get it and that was $110 for the month for two kids, not $350! So, yeah, I feel ya on the "they didnt know" game

: I've had to close out a checking account before because my numbers and the banks were way off, thankfully in my favor.
I should know people make mistakes and things happen. In fact, I just received a notice from the bank that a check got paid for 96. that should've been for 196. so they let me know another 100 would be deducted from my account. Many years ago, when I used to transport dcks, I stopped at the bank to cash a check, they overpaid me by $50 but the kids were all fussy and crying by then and I just wanted to get home; never counted my money.
Never questioned if they'd made a mistake or not until they called me about it.
Oops. Probably made me look bad but honestly, I never stopped to count it. I do NOW, every darn single time.

Same here. I check my account daily, if not multiple times a day. I look at my history to check what has cleared and if there is anything suspicious. If I write a check (which I rarely do) I check everyday to see if it has cleared. I would definitely notice if I had an extra 350.- Flag

Well I share my accounts with DH and he pays bills or Amazon gifts himself randomly all the time. So, neither of us know what exact amount should be there. We use our "checking account" for everything but don't write any checks (well, nearly no checks).- Flag
