Q: I was planning on purchasing a dog and they are charging me but I backed out and never received the dog, is that legal?
I was going to purchase a puppy, I agreed to pay a down payment to hold the puppy, they opened credit and charged me immediately. I called them 3 days from initial contact, had not picked up the puppy and they refuse to refund me, and it's $3,000! I never met them in person and never paid them the down payment to hold the puppy, and their reviews on their site show they do this to a lot of people and sell sick puppies.
A: Well, you say you paid but didn’t pay a down payment, so which is it? Was $3000 the entire purchase price? What was the agreed upon down payment? You can probably sue these people, and it sound like there are others who may want to do the same.
