Not wanting to, I sat down with my husband and we figured out a payment plan that put her first payment at $200 ($112 remaining balance) and she could pay the $112 remaining with her second payment. She said that should work and then 2 seconds later sent another text asking if she could pay the $200 on her NEXT paycheck (20th) and then catch up after that. Seriously?? You want me to go a whole month without getting a dime?? I told her I needed some kind of payment on the 7th and she came back with $80....I'm annoyed and just needed to vent....I want to be willing to work with people but COME ON. What would you do in this situation?

DCM, on second thought, I'm not comfortable making payment arrangements. The full amount is due on the 7th. Thanks for understanding.
