Hello Elizabeth, thank you for specifying your location. Could you please provide more details about your consumer law question?
I paid for services in September *, the services were performed to my satisfaction THEN the provider refunded me my payment approximately 44 days after payment. Neither me or my credit card company requested or disputed the charge. I called them and finally they told me today, after asking for answers for almost 30 days, that it was a computer glitch.
