What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FLORIDA
I SENT$1000 TO A TAX RESOLUTION COMPANY SAYING THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THEIR FULL FEE, AND NEEDED SOME TIME TO FIND OUT. THEY SENT ME A POWER OF ATTORNEY THAT I DID NOT SIGN, WHILE I SEARCHED FOR MONIES. AFTER MY SEARCH I FOUND I COULD NOT AFFORD IT, AND ASKED FOR MY $1000 BACK.THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY SEND BACK $650, SAYING THAT THERE WERE "PROCESSING FEES" THAT THEY WILL NOT ITEMIZE.THEY HAD NO POWER OF ATTORNEY SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW THEY COULD "PROCESS" ANYTHING. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE?
