Sorry I didn't follow the full thread, but did you ever proceed with the legal action against them? I am not sure you stand any legal recourse in this case but just curious how it turned out if you did.
I talked to my lawyer, but the type of judge it would need to go in front of requires a grievance of at least $70,000.
I didn't really lose anything here and I didn't lose much time... We decided we wouldn't waste a Federal Judges time or my money.
Soooo regardless of being wronged... there isn't really shit I can do about it except warn others!
(I agree, A is likely what happened... it's at least best-case scenario for them IMO.)
