I told them to pound sand and refund deposit. They told me no refunds which is stated in contract. Is this illegal? We didn’t cancel 5400 well as contract states. We canceled 11,000 well. According to them they can raise price to whatever they want if you don’t like it they steal deposit.
I mean come on. They probably already invested that $2,700 in permits, staff, time etc.. It's not like they are getting off free either. I had some dental work done the other day, ran $1000 more than quoted, sometimes you just pay and move on, I didn't freak out and threaten to sue the dentist. It's not like the guy is scamming you, he got clipped by local government, this happens all the time. If you want the work done for the job pay the money, but LOL at suing over $2,700. You can't be serious.
