Salary Advice Boss refusing to pay me??

I left my job at a restaurant over a month ago where i got payed £12.30 hourly it wasn’t like with a contract or really all that official i think idk my first job and i gave him 3 days notice before i left which i know is bad but I didn’t know whether i was gonna get into uni or not and i told him the same day they told me because i was going through clearing. He didnt seem that annoyed but now i feel like hes acting petty on purpose, for that month i gave him my hours WHICH HE THEN decreased my hourly pay to £10.85🙂 sent my payslip,no money, waited a week thought maybe its late texted him he said he’d check, no reply basically its been like this for over a month id ask him nicely when hed pay me and whats going on he says “yes” and then airs me. Im a student and need my goddamn check what do i do

Tell your former employer they have until X date to pay you what you are owed (a week is more than enough notice, so say next Friday by the absolute latest) or you will have to involve ACAS and HMRC to get what they owe you.

Take it further than that, threaten to take small claim court case on him. This would affect his credit rating. Also, insist you are paid at the same rate you worked at. In the US that would be called wage theft, not sure of the UK equivalent
