I am rejecting this response because:I don't know where the misunderstanding is coming from, because I was very clear when I spoke to Mr **** and most importantly in the BBB complaint ( I screenshot it and attach it for him to review). If you examine the highlighted last sentence, you will see that I included the order information, detailing the breakdown of everything I paid to you all. That total came up to 934.90.
When it asked in the section about my desired outcome, I put to be fully refunded what I paid to you all (nothing more/nothing less). When he called me a few days ago, and told me you thought my refund was 820. and some change. I told him, I was not sure because I was not at home to check but I emailed everything to everyone involved, including him. he were going to check and he asked me for a favor, if I could, to reach out to ******************* to update my complaint once I received a full refund. I said I would do that for him once i received my full refund.
Now maybe in his haste to get this taken care of, he only saw the ****** number on the BBB complaint, and overlooked the other charges, which is understandable. However, I would still appreciate a full refund. The remaining balance amount is $113.95.
Which is not much when you compare the thousands of dollars I've lost, as well as, time.
Thank you
