Question
Hello Rabbi, Imagine a person whose child was in a Charedi daycare, and he was charged a total amount of 1500 NIS because no level was set for him by the state. After the end of the year in the daycare, the daycare noticed this, and in the meantime, the level was set, where according to calculations, the person should have paid some additional amount each month. The daycare demanded the difference amount. The person asked the daycare for consideration, a discount, or installment payments. The daycare representative said they would check with the management. Meanwhile, they have not updated back. The person made an effort and sent them an email asking what is happening with the debt. Should the person make further efforts, knowing that the daycare demanded the debt, and he should be the one to act to settle the debt, or can he rely on the fact that the daycare has not returned with an answer regarding the discount on the debt, and continue to wait without action?
Answer
Hello,
Currently, the responsibility to collect is on the daycare. You have done your part.
[It is unlikely that it was forgotten, rather it is due to bureaucracy].
