Our client contacted us after he had returned a vacuum cleaner he ordered from a TV advertisement. Although he was promised a refund, the New York based company never made good on it's promise. C contacted the West Virginia Attorney General; however, the company was not cooperative and there was little the Attorney General could do. I sent the company on a letter on the client's behalf threatening legal action based on Consumer Protection Law should they fail to remit C a full refund. With the threat of legal action, the company quickly refunded my client his $276.70. My client is grateful for all the help he received from both the Attorney General and West Virginia Senior Legal Aid.

Case of the Week: 6/5/2006
County: Boone
Age: 70
Our client contacted us after she received a letter from Citi Bank claiming that a payment of $6588.60 was return due to insufficient funds. The payment was made by Discover in October of 2005 as a balance transfer. She recieved the letter from Citi Bank nearly 4 months after the balance transfer. After several failed attempts to work with Citi Bank she contacted us. I sent a letter of dispute on her behalf asking that Citi Bank conduct an investigation of the charges. After two billing cycles my client received a statement from Citi bank crediting her all the charges, including late fees and finance fees, leaving her with a zero balance.
