Florida:
Purchased a investment newsletter subscription from a publisher doing business originally in MN who then moved operations to KS. Newletter had guarantee for full refund of subscription price if investor did not make $100,000 during subscription period. One year later I called the publication requesting refund and was told that I was not entitled to refund because I did not cancel the subscription prior to the subscription running out. No such requirement was indicated in the advertisement I received when I purchased the subscription. We are talking about an attempt to get $5,000 refund.
First thing I did was have an attorney in Florida (Miami) send a demand letter to the publisher in Kansas. No response from publisher. Then I contacted an attorney in Kansas whom I mailed documentation to specific to my claim.
My purpose in contacting the Kansas attorney was to see if I can file a civil claim against the newsletter publisher. The Kansas attorney sent my documents back with a cover letter telling me that he could not file the claim, but that I may need to contact an attorney either in Florida or Minnesota for jurisdiction. My question is "What determines state/court juridiction for my filing a claim in this case?"
Also, is there a potential violation of federal trade laws violated in this instance? Where should I seek legal consultation on this matter?
