Recovering money paid to a bad service provider
Have any of you gone to receive a service, paid in full before it’s fully completed, and then had the job so fouled up that you basically have to stop mid-service but then have to recover your payment? How do you go about it? What if the service provider feels that they are entitled to all of the funds because of the work done thus far? Perhaps they ordered a part from an outside vendor and will now be stuck with it? I have such a hard time with these things and am in a real pickle right now. I either have to use the current sucky provider or forfeit about $2k and pay it AGAIN to someone else. This service cannot be put off and I have to find a new provider ASAP. The current provider will know that I’m in this bad spot. I’d appreciate any tips people might have to offer me.

I’ve never had to do that and am terrible at confrontations about those sorts of things, but I think you have ever right to ask for your money back (or whatever portion of the funds you believe you’re entitled to). Was there a contract at all involved in this Service? Good luck and stick to your guns- you’re entitled to proper Service!

No contract with me directly, which is what makes it hard. I have contacted the people that license this service provider and asked them to take action so we’ll see. Sorry I can’t be more specific in the blog.
