Q: I terminated services with a daycare provider and the provider is refusing to provide a receipt. What should I do?
The licensed provider did not require a contract however just the required forms to be completed for state regulation. However there are emails and text messages showing the business relationship for an 8 month period.

A:
If the daycare provider is refusing to provide a receipt, you can take the following steps:
1. Communicate Clearly: Send a polite and formal written request, preferably via email or text message, asking for the receipt. Mention any relevant details like the dates of service and payment amounts.
2. Refer to Past Correspondence: As you have emails and text messages documenting the business relationship and payments, you can refer to these in your request to demonstrate the agreement and payments made.
3. State Legal Considerations: Mention that providing receipts is often a standard business practice and may be required for tax or record-keeping purposes. Emphasize the importance of having accurate records for both parties.
4. Seek Mediation or Legal Advice: If the provider continues to refuse, you may want to explore mediation or consult with an attorney for guidance on potential legal actions you can take to obtain the receipt.
Remember to maintain a respectful and professional tone in your communications throughout the process.
