Sorry to hear of your troubles. One more thing you can do to give them a good "kick in the azz" is to file a complaint with the Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs (Charles Bronson....no, not the "Death Wish" guy). You can pull up their site and do an online complaint, and chances are, the business that wronged you will sit up and take notice, real quick-like, and try to make things right. After all, this is the state of Florida that's tapping them on the shoulder...they can't ignore them! The nice thing is, it's "free," no outrageous "shark fees" to pay. In some cases, if they don't regulate the business, they can't do anything, but, in this case, I think they would. Hey, as a taxpaying resident of the Great State of Florida, this is your right! Exercise it! Best of luck too. PS: they've certainly helped me in the past in dealing with various "shady operators" here in Tallytown.

He's correct.

DOAC can help if they regulate it.

But I've seen them waste time $$$ on small operators with piddly little violations and let the major violators fall through the cracks

But let's see if they can help you? It's worth a minute of your time on the internet

I have to say however, that whenever I've filed a complaint with DOACA, they have been helpful. It kind of "forces" the business to acknowledge your complaint, and to work towards a resolution. They send a certified letter to the business, and essentially "twist their arm" to answer your complaint. Usually, I try to work it out with the business before pulling out this "big gun," but unfortunately, it's much easier for them (the "offending" business) to try to blow you off, or ignore you, rather than satisfy the customer....take the money and run, so to speak. It's a shame that things have come to this, but on the other hand, it's nice to have a government agency that stands up for the consumer, and they do. Years ago, people would generally "do the right thing." Sadly, nowadays, that's often not the case. Once they have your money in hand, they have a tendency to quickly forget about you, and if you're considering hiring an attorney, you'd better have a nice fat wad of cash to hand over to him/her. Anyway, hope this info was helpful. All you fellow vette folks have a good week!

Yes it was, thanks.

I've only had the opportunity to see them in "action"from the realm of my business.

Seems all the hire for this side of the table are retired cops looking for a cushy job.

It's easier for them to go out and make some Charlie Sierra administrative case over something that probably should have been rectified by a warning and helping ther party work toward correcting a deficiency, than it is to have to conduct a "real" investigation, establish real probable cause and actually put major violators in jail!
I'm sorry, but I've seen it done over and over again and the big guys walk away with a slap while they fine and threaten the "little guy."

I've seen it done to several of my associates over the years....but this is a different part of DOACA. Not sure what part you dealt with?

In any event, give it a shot

Never know what might happen and it's cheaper than an attorney
