RE: Daycare Rip-off

[supertox2013]

In Northern Virginia, Daycare Provider did not give us a Written Contract for services. We were advised by the Juvenile and Domestic Courts to follow the instructions of the Child Psychologist in our case who recommended that we remove our child from this Daycare ASAP in 2012. Daycare Provider was paid in full for services in December 1-21, 2012. She was advised on August 17, 2012 that the child would be removed from her daycare due to abuse and neglect hearing on this date. Now she is claiming she is owed funds for the child not being there for the Christmas Holidays until February 2013. We did not have an Oral Agreement with her but she had one with us stating that we could remove the child with no penalties at anytime possible in 2009. Nothing was mentioned after 2009 as long as she was getting paid.

I don't see where you ask a specific question. However; if there was no written contract & the child was not there the period of time she is charging for, it doesn't seem you would have to pay.

However, she "might" sue you in small claims court (anyone can sue anyone else at any time for anything) but that doesn't mean she will win. She may not want to sue since the child was removed due to abuse/neglect.

Good luck.
