Just sue them. You will win. Take a look at the stella awards. http://www.stellaawards.com If these people can sue and win hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars then someone with a seemingly legitimate arguement should be able to get some compensation. Especially if you are asking for something reasonable like, refund the money, pay medical expenses and court costs. Sorry but I have no real advice or experience to help you with this. I would contact the Better Business Bureau. They gave me some great advice once. I only wanted to file a complaint against a former employer and they advised me that I was actually entitled to compensation and helped me to get in contact with the correct authorities to get it. Check with any local consumer advocate groups.
