I paid a franchised company "Floor Coverings International" $7,000 to do work on my home (flooring). The company owner said his contractor quit before starting. He was unable to find a new contractor after several months; so he told me I could hire another and he would reimburse me in two weeks. Months later, he said he doesn't have the money to give me a refund. The police said for me to charge him with "Theft by Deception". He said the police don't understand the statute, and that since he's a C corporation, if I do file charges, he will never reimburse me. This is a small fortune for me; not sure what to do. I don't want the guy in jail, just my refund.
