Almost 1 year ago we signed a year agreement with a vetrinarian. About 3 months later, we sold our dog and tried to transfer our commitment to the buyer. They agreed to pay the monthly fee and use the vetrinarian service. There were no problems for about 6 months. They paid regularly, used the service, and the company accepted payment. About 3 months ago the vetrinarian refused to accept payment even though the buyers of the dog were willing and tried to pay for the services they were using. Now, the vetrinarian is threatening to hurt our credit if we don't pay. Can the vetrinarian legally refuse payment from someone that is using their services?

Sure - but I don't know why they would. Why don't they just send you a check and you make payment to the vet?
