Q: 3 yrs ago @ a motel paid full for month. wanted refund owner said no could only give 1 week money back. can I do anythin

He's known to have a severe drug problem the rooms were horrible I paid almost 2 thousand for the month and it was just odd he said I can't get my money back at all at firstly then said he could give me a weeks worth. It still bugs me to this- day the place is horrible and definitely not what I was expecting when paid for it. Never heard of no refund especially after one day thats all I was there for.

I'd really like to get the funds back from that but is that even a possibility?

A: Probably not. Do you really think a guy with a severe drug problem.who runs a roach motel is going to have 2 grand laying around? You should have consulted a.lawyer 3 years ago. Even so, if you think you have a case, you should consult a lawyer, but be prepared to be charged a hefty fee upfront if he or she takes your case.
