wanted
Talking to an agent about why I haven't made payment. I say:
The reason why I didn't pay the first payment was because my card had been stolen and I wanted to make sure it was cleared up before I made/make the first payment.
Should it be make or made, if I haven't made the payment yet?
Thank you!
