Partial credit? if we don't get the bonus disc/lunchbox

[Howard]

Any emails Jason has between him and Ross discussing payment would be pretty good evidence.

PLEASE READ THIS POST IF YOU PAID BY CREDIT CARD

A part of credit card consumer protection is that if you pay for an item and recieve it in any condition LESS than what was stated (only part of a whole item, unsatisfactory condition, etc), you can TAKE THIS TO YOUR BANK just like we took disputed charges. The bank will investigate it and either issue a partial or full refund.

Thus, if we never receive the bonus disk/lunchboxes, we can dispute the price of the set, just like we disputed unauthorized charges.

For example:

From Mastercard - http://www.mastercard.com/education/fraud/
"Under certain circumstances, you may have recourse if a service or product you purchase with a MasterCard card does not meet your satisfaction. "

WellsFargo/Visa - http://www.wellsfargo.com/credit_cards/ ... safeguard/
Merchant disputes

If you have a problem with the quality of property or services that you have purchased with your Wells Fargo credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due. Merchant disputes may be filed if the amount of the purchase was more than $50, made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address. These limitations do not apply if Wells Fargo owns or operates the merchant, or if we mailed you the advertisement for the property or services.

Oral contracts are binding in the state of California, where, coincidentally, AU is![/quote]

However, monetary compensation from Oral contracts have a limit, which I *believe* was the amount of Small Claims ($500).

Here is what I want, since AU cannot be trusted to refund 25K+ to customers.

A non-profit trust should be set up and run to cover the expenses of a fan organization for a certain period of time. If we have any lawyers in the house, I'd like to sign my receivables over NOW.

A fan organization like, say, mscl.com, which is now burdened with an unusually high amount of traffic due to the DVD fiasco created by AU?

Jeez, you mean that in California 'oral' contracts might well not be binding? Like you HAVE to write something down if it's for over a certain monetary limit?

Wow. Here, you have a binding situation once you've verbally agreed; the only problem would be proving it. Which you could do with sworn affadavits from witnesses etc.

Seriously, if I agree (in California) in a room full of people that I'll pay someone £10,000 for a car and there are witnesses galore, I can't be held to that?
