Help!! I want my money back...?

Question

My boyfriend and I and another couple (Our friends) put a deposit down on a condo for a vacation. A lady I worked with owns the condo. I quit my job because of some things that went on... and now she won't give me my money back! I called her and she told me she was sending my check in the mail... and I still haven't gotten it. I called her and she won't respond to my calls. She gave the other couple their money... but not mine!! I don't know what to do?!? Help!

Answer 1

Wow! Tough issue...

I am thinking if she gave the other couple their money, and not yours, then this is a personal issue...

So to get personal in a nice, respectful manner... you may have to just visit her job, (be it that she still works there)... and what you will want to do is type up a letter to her, telling her that she can leave your money at the front desk with her supervisor and that you will pick it up, once she has done that.

People do not like it when you come to their jobs, it intimidates them, it embarrasses them, and they fear that they will get fired... Now none of these are your intentions... but you just want to go in peace, leave the letter: Attn your ex-co-workers name on the front in big huge bold faced letters... and wait, give it a couple of days... perhaps three days. That's a good number.

If she does not respond. Last attempt, and I will explain why last attempt in a bit....

Call her supervisor, or set up a time to go in and talk with her supervisor, and explain the situation in brief conversation, to her, what your reason is for visiting the job. This will put the ball not only in her court, but in her supervisors court as well. Usually when you bring someone else into a situation like this ... it will get results..

Let this be your last attempt to get what is rightfully yours... cause watch this.... you can cause more issues and problems than it's all worth. Even if you tried to take this type issue to small claims court you would be out of more time and money than anything. This type of situation will cause so much stress and anxiety upon you...

Now as for me, I would just count my losses, and move on... some things are not worth fighting for, (although it's yours)... life is too short. She knows that she owes you your money.... so it will be on her conscience. Someone has to be the bigger person in this matter. If you can still keep your house, or apartment, your car, and you can still eat and still have clothes on your back, then just let it go... What goes around comes right back around again...

Remember, we don't pay evil for evil... but she will surely reap what she sows.... that's the Word! We don't wish bad on her, but there are always consequences for peoples wrong-doings.

So move on in peace, and know that you are the bigger person in this matter. Smile and Enjoy life!! It is not the end of the world yet... (smiling) and this probably will not be the last time that you will loose some money.

I have had plenty taken from me, but I am always receiving more... (smile)

Count it all Joy and shake the dust off of your feet! Move on and smile again... everything is going to be alright!
There will be a brighter day!

Answer 2

When you put down a deposit, if you back out the person doesn't have to give it back unless you have a written contract that says it will be refunded.
