What is the name of your state? Ohio
Ok, I need to find out what type of legal stand I have here. In Mid March I dropped my computer off to have it repaired. I sat down at the store on a computer and typed what was wrong with it. The computer store printed it out and gave it to me and said they will call in a few days. There was no contract involved. It took the computer store until mid April before it was done. All I needed was a new mother board and they were to swap out my old memory and charge me like 80 dollars for another gig of memory. Well when the bill finally rolled around I had used the money for a household emergency. I felt terrible about this as I have spent over a thousand dollars at this store before. I spoke to a csr and explained in embarrassment of my hardship. She understood and asked when I could pay the bill. I told her that mid May would be the earliest as I had a student loan refund due to me. If I could pay it sooner I would and that I would keep in touch. I called 2 more times to let the company know that I still did not recieve my check yet. I called a third time to pay my bill at the end of May and the manager said that the property was considered abandoned and that it was not there anymore. He told me that they took it apart and used the parts to build a better computer. They do have a sign 68 feet away from the entrance in the back of the store that reads "ALL PROPERTY UNPAID AFTER THIRTY DAYS OF COMPLETION WILL BE CONSIDERED ABANDONED" where nobody can see it. The total cost for labor was 60 dollars. They still had there merchandise and they kept about 500 dollars of mine and sold it. Somehow this doesnt seem fair. There has to be some criteria for a legal seizure of property. Why would they tear it down for parts when the part they put in it made the computer run fine? Any help would be appreciated .
