New York, Ontario County.
My wife and I purchased a cell phone plan from a reseller for T-Mobile. The salesman promised us he would pay the cancelation fee from the old cell carrier that we incurred for switching. Needless to say, we received a bill for the cancelation charges. When I called the reseller, the manager said they would take care of it. Two weeks later, the manager claims that this is a personal issue between us and the salesperson.
I am filling out a small claim form. It is my belief that I should sue the reseller since the employee was acting as an agent for the reseller. Should I put the salespersons name on the claim, just the business name, or someone else's name? Anyone have a quick link to law backing up the idea that an employer is liable for the contracts entered into by an employee?
Thanks,
