If I Don't Have Anything Nice To Say......

I would have another copy of the certified letter ready to hand him this morning once I received payment for last week. I'd probably make sure hubby was home too. '

Good luck today!

So he gave 2 weeks notice but wants care for the following week? Do you have drop in rates? I would tell him I would gladly take care of his child the 3rd week at a drop in rate of 2x the contracted rate paid in full up front. Then smile really big.
Either he will be mad and leave on time or pay you for putting up with his attitude.

Well, I expected it.

Dcd decided to ditch without paying and wrote me an email saying that he won't be bringing his daughter back to daycare and that he won't be paying for the final two-weeks because his "family attorney" believes I compromised my own contract by........I'm not exactly sure he gave a reason in his email. It was a bunch of jibberish and talk about how unprofessional I was to him and how he is disappointed he is in my services. Blah, Blah. Anyway, if he can't afford to pay for the two-week termination of contract, I hiiiiiighly doubt he can afford a personal attorney

So, I wrote an offical Demand of Payment letter, emailed it to him and sent a certified copy in the mail. He has until the end of the month to pay or it's either small claims or a collection agency (I like the ones that garnish wages after so long with no payment )

I'm going to get my money one way or another. It isn't about the money at this point, it's the principle of the matter and I hope karma reaches this guy before he tries this again with another daycare.

Thank you for all the help ladies! It's super appreciated!

And to greenhouse - no, unfortunately there isn't a mom in the picture at all.

Don't forget to keep your regulator in the loop. Sounds like someone who will make false claims as payback. Document everything in their file, also!

[frgsonmysox]

He sounds like a real winner! Good for you for holding your own.

[wdmmom]

Good for you! Also send a certified letter demanding payment. Keep all the emails too!

No doubt in my mind that you'll win.

I can see the type: You'll file small claims papers and have him served, THEN he'll send you payment. DON'T ACCEPT IT! Make sure if you're going to court that you get the court costs and filing fees associated.

It'll end up costing him double. Then whe you leave the courthouse, tell him, "Being a tool is expensive, huh?!" ::::::
