Unless there is something about any of the contracts that makes them void on their face, you are responsible to pay any amounts stipulated in any contracts. If the second agreement was signed in writing, specifically stating that he agreed to lower the cost, you and he are bound to the second agreement. I would speak to a lawyer.

There is one an only way to get your money or part of it back. In a very innocent way ask him to sell to you something valuable he owns, like a laptop or TV set. Tell him that you need this item and that you would pay him in a few days, (it is incredible but this kind of people almost always believe that) and do not pay him until he pays you.  I had done it many, times and believe me, it works.

I can't believe only one person came up with:\n\n"How did you sign a contract agreeing to anything when you were under the age of 18?"\n\nIt's not valid.\n\nAnd, I don't think there's any good chance of anybody recognising you.\n\nBut.\n\nThe answers with "call the store manager, and explain" are not too far off the mark. What you want to say is:\n\n"I know I was stupid at the time and it's not a mistake I've made since then."\n\nI shoplifted a bit of junk when I was 13, on a lark; got caught, got "banned" from that mall, and -- well, that was my first go at it -- and now? I'd forgotten all about it until your question.\n\nWhat you signed is not a valid contract. And, from the sounds of it, not enforceable under any common law. Just go back.\n\nTop job on never stealing again...!

Politely ask them to send you a copy of the contract, so that you may see it.  There is a possibility that they bought a contract from another company, and you do owe the money.  If they refuse, or you find that there is no contract, try contacting the three major credit reporting companies, and tell them what is happening.  Then if InPhonic reports a problem, they'll have your side of the story first.

Well how much gas does this Explorer use anyway? If he told this person he would do it for him, he should keep the promise he made, and if he accepted the $80 for payment then he should chalk it up to experience and do it anyway! He promised to do it! The other person is counting on him keeping that promise! You are liar if you break your promises and if you don't work out a dollar figure before you take on something like this then it is your fault when you come up short!\nYou must keep your promises, it is your integrity you are putting to the front not his! So he is a jerk that is not paying you enough and probably knows it, but you are the one who made the deal with them and if you don't keep up the deal then you look like a liar and jerk and a cheat to boot to everyone he comes in contact with!

Verbal contracts are still contracts in the eyes of the law, but they're tougher to prove, particularly if you already have a written contract that contradicts it.  Taking this to court would hurt you both, so you both have a strong incentive to settle.\n\nMy advice is to see if your city government provides some kind of mediation services.  They can help you to work this out without requiring legal representation for either side.  Before you go into the negotiation, try and separate your feelings from your interests, and try to understand where he's coming from, and you'll stand a much better chance of working this out in a way that's equitable to you both.  Make sure that you consider your "BATNA" and his (BATNA=Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement - i.e. what will each of you do if you can't come to an agreement) and be willing to settle once you reach a point in the negotiation where you've exceeded your BATNA.  Good luck.

That is too much to just let go.\n\nLearn from your mistake.\n\nNext time if there ever is one draw up a contract, have it signed by yourself and the other party and have it notarized.\n\n\nChances are you learned your lesson. But I definitely would not let them get away with it.\n\nInstead of getting a lawyer (expensive) go to small claims court and have it settled.

So how did he get your name and address and how do you know about the deal if you have no dealings with the company? Did it all come from him? \n\nFind out the home address of the person who made the deal, and send that to the guy making threats. \n\nThe "all sales are final"  policy of a company has no legal effect unless  a contract was signed by both parties, then it only might apply. If no contract was signed, he should get his money back less any associated costs, for instance was the item purchased a custom item or off the shelf?\n\nHave you contacted the country this person is from?\n\nReally not enough information in your question. Was it all legal and above-board?

Yes. you are being ripped off! you can contact the higher authorities at your work, meaning the ones above your manager. if they dont sort this out, you might want to contact the department of Labor and lodge a complaint with them with a copy of your agreement. also you might want to seek the advice of an attorney after showing him a copy of your contract and you can proceed according to his advice.

You pose 2 separate questions.\n1 - Did you really underpay?  We cant answer that on this board because we do not know the facts.\n2 - Assuming you did underpay, they can force you to pay it but will probably write it off or discount it for that small sum.

Just pay it back. NO legal problem, but make up a story as to why you thought you were getting the extra money.

Call the Better Business Bureau. You may have to hire an attorney. Read everything very carefully before you sign it. If you did not sign an agreement, you may be able to get out of it. Buyer Beware.

Are you quite well?\n\nIf you dealt with a firm and they made you wait too long / let them down, why in creation did you decided to do business with them again.\n\nThey can only keep taking your cash as long as you are daft enough to keep sending it to them. Sorry to be blunt, but learn from your errors.

Yes, it could be a binding contract, depending on what it says.  Any written document you sign can be legally interpreted to be a contract, and most are.  This is why you ALWAYS need to read the fine print an be sure you know what you are signing.  \n\nConsult a business lawyer in your community, or seek help from your local legal aid society if you cannot afford one.  It is very possible that the handyman does have a legitimate case against you if he/she turned down other paying work to honor their scheduling commitment to you, and now has lost income because of your cancellation.  Even for a small contract they can take you to small claims court, which will cost you a lot of time and energy to defend, so best to be open-minded and fair about reaching some kind of settlement with the handyman quickly.

Why do I feel you are leaving out some important details here?  What's going on?\n\nThe dealer has the right to get a credit report on you if you have applied for credit with him.  Did you have a business transaction with this dealer (signed or otherwise)?  If so, you don't have a leg to stand on.\n\nIf no, then he is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.  See the link below for the entire text and see what the law says.\n\n\nIf you did have a business relationship with him, I don't see anywhere in the law that prohibits him from getting it 8 times.  He has to pay for each credit report, so if he wants to do that over and over that's his privilage.  You can contact the credit reporting agency and explain the situation.  They may remove some of the disclosure reports.  Be prepared to give them a good explanation.\n\nNow, if you were not applying for a loan, and he did do all of this, you can sue him for any damages that happened as a result.  Were you denied credit because of your now lower score?  Was the interest rate higher because of it?  Were you denied employment?  How were you damaged.  \n\nYou can't sue him just because your score went down.  You can report him to the credit bureaus, and they can deny his access to future credit reports.\n\nOn a happy note....if you can prove that he willfully requested credit reports, and you did not have a credit application or business relationship with him, he can be sued for $2500 for each violation. \n\nYour next step is to contact the credit agencies. Good luck

Read your contract for a clause that explains how you can get our of it.  Also, get advice from an attorney - show him your contract.  Good luck!
