I have not asked for my money

[teaboy]

I have not asked for my money back yet, since I would not expect the sales rep to give it back willingly and lose his commission.
I want them to admit they have missold me the wrong windows which are not to code (San Diego fire code.) And then use this as a reason for full refund. Unfortunately, I dont believe the sales rep knows much of anything about the fire code of the products he’s selling and will simply tell me I’m wrong. Asking for a refund before doing that will just make them even more defensive & uncooperative.

I feel my options at this point are 1 or all of:
1. Ask my credit card company to issue a chargeback for my $1000.

2. File a complaint against the contractor to the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) for mis-selling a product not up to the fire code and maybe have them adjudicate whether it is or isnt up to code.

3. Take this Contractor to the small claims court for my $1000.

4. Build a time machine, go back to the time before I signed this contract, and then wait for the next recession, like gzz suggested. 🙂

Anyone had any experience of any of those?
