Repost from 06 by request - Spinoff on Bridal Closing
The best advice I've heard so far!!
Put all purchases of $50 or more (especially your wedding gown!) on your credit card if you have one. There is a federal law called Federal Regulation C that entitles consumers to receive refunds if the merchandise is not delivered/delivered but doesnt live up to what's promised/ problems with the quality of goods and services etc. - it protects all deposits and payments but does not protect debit cards or cash advanced check options.
You have to prove that you tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant - in the case of a closing bridal shop you need to send a written statement and copy of your deposit receipt!!
Just something to keep inmind and remind everyone to save copies of all recipts and contracts its your best protection plan!
