Dad gets bill after son, 5, misses birthday party
Quote:
A FIVE-year-old boy has been invoiced for failing to show up at a friend’s birthday party.
Alex Nash, from Cornwall, was invited to the party just before Christmas, but his friend’s mother, named by the BBC as Julie Lawrence, sent an invoice for £15.95, claiming Alex’s non-attendance had left her ‘out of pocket’ and that his parents had her contact details to inform her he would not be going.
And Alex’s father Derek revealed that he had been threatened with legal action through the small claims court over his refusal to pay the bill.
Alex’s parents, from Torpoint, had accepted the invitation to the birthday bash at a dry ski slope in Plymouth, shortly before Christmas.
However, they later realised that Alex had been due to spend time with his grandparents, which he did instead of attending the party.

You are paying for 1 x child’s party at the ski slope including snow tubing and tobogganing and lunch, to with you said Alex was attending on the Thursday

Just so you know, small claims court cost £60 just to start a claim. Also I’m not paying for something we didn’t use.
Julie Lawrence
It doesn’t cost that much
Tanya Walsh
It does. Also I don’t think the school are very happy with you involving them in this either. I don’t know why you are out for our blood and slandering us. I’ve told you the reasons why alex didn’t go. I also told you why I couldn’t call. You also don’t seem to understand that I never ran away from you. I didnt hear you calling after me. I have to get to my daughter at carbeile. So if they let alex out last then I have to rush a bit because evie, my 2 year old, walks slow..............
