I posted some bad review of an online bank on a site that sends a copy of my post to the president of the company being "downgraded". The bank screwed things up in my telecredit rating so I can't open an account with another bank!!
No biggie to me, I already had an account with a credit union so I switched to that.
One of the reasons I want to make it big as a trader is so I can have a good attorney on tap for situations like the one in this thread. I have seen an insurance company go from talking to me like I was an undeserving idiot to literally getting out a blank check, after my sister, who is half of an attorney firm, wrote them a letter on a legal pad. No attorney firm name, no threat of a lawsuit, just a nice concise explanation of why we did not want their doctor to do an operation, but on a legal pad and written like it was from an attorneys office. They did a 180 and started talking to us nicely, and intelligently, and construcively.
I've gone to arbitration with crooked subcontractors who were talking all kinds of krap at me, no biggie, eventually they just had to write me a check or lose their license. I learned to write those letters like sis can do to problematic neighbors, works like a charm.
Get a little experience in court battles, after that you will have real good antennas for bullshit arguments versus what the judge is likely to say, then it is just a matter of deciding if a court battle is worth the time, assuming you are going to get your costs back.
