To make a long story short: I was tricked by a company I won't

Threaten to take them to small claims court for that money back.

Make use of managers services in the future. Don't do stupid things like shoplifting.

Why would you not name the company, you pansy? Even that act in and of itself is a small revenge.

this. or ismply dont pay. it sounds like you havent been charged the full amount so dont pay the rest, when they ask why, tell them, and tell them an employee already admitted it was their wrong.

if they plan to charge a card on file, simply cut that card up and call your company to cancel it and send you a new one.

if they already charged you insist on a refund, and if they refuse, just tell your bank or credit card company that you were swindled and want the charge removed.

I'm not.

Doesn't matter, it's a very well-known company that already has a bad reputation but gets a lot of business anyway.

Thanks for the advice so far people.

Have you already given them the money? If you really feel it's a "trick" and they're being dishonest, don't pay them. I doubt they're gonna take you to court over $200, especially not if they know it's shady

I understand that you don't want to name people or companies can you give more information on what the employee fucked up? What did admit exactly? Did they lie? Did they quote the wrong price? Did they present the wrong product? Did they fail to show you a less expansive product? Was it a mistake of incompetence or was it done on purpose?

you could at least warn us about that company. Is it a business that sells sex toys or something?

It's a phone store. I was told that if I stuck with my contract I could upgrade to a newer phone at no cost. This is how it had worked in the past so I had no reason to doubt this. Turns out, no, I'm paying for the phone just the same.

They give you 2 weeks to get out of this, but of course I didn't realize they were charging me for the phone until a month later when I got my bill.

I doubt it was done on purpose, but I don't really care.

Good advice, but problem is, I've been paying on it for about a year already. The fact is I can afford it just fine, so at first I just didn't care enough to do anything, and went with it. But the more I've thought about it lately, it's made me mad on principle, and I feel like I should do something.

I guess it's my fault for waiting that long, but I doubt I could really get any legal recourse after paying on it for that long, and I think it's questionable to just stop paying when I've been using the phone for a year.
