A Connecticut attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. I'm sorry your question remains open. At this point, it could be worth considering a consult with a collections defense attorney. Good luck

Unlikely at this point. You'd need an expert to testify that the engine fialed due to what they did and for no other reason. Part of the problem is also you kept taking it back--the law would say some of that's on you, because you didn't want to have a competent mechanic look at it.... View More

You don't want to take the approach of ignoring this. It is really something for a Connecticut attorney to advise you on; but it is also something on which you should take some form of action without further delay. If you missed a court date, that could possibly result in a default judgment... View More

Why do you want the scammer's name? You should concentrate on getting the money back; and the bank and regulatory authorities are much better at doing that than you are.

You need to hire an attorney with experience in civil litigation and contract law to "light a fire under the contractor" with a demand letter and some phone calls. At worst, you will need the attorney to file a claim against the contractor as well. This is something my office handles... View More
