<prompt> Human: I dont know if this is the right place to post my personal issues but here it goes. This guy we hired who was going to install our AC also installed our neighbors AC. We saw him installing one next door and ask him to come install a new unit for us also. He comes into our house the next week to come look at what kind of AC unit we needed and so on. Before he left, he left a proposal, which states the cost, his signature, my signature, and his companys name. He said his company is funded by private investors so he is his own company. So on day of the installation, he comes in and removes the old AC unit and heater. He then texts me about three hours after he left that he has problem purchasing the equipment. He said that the company that sold him to unit made a mistake and sold him the AC unit of our neighbors. Our AC unit is 4 ton while the neighbors is 3 ton. The company that sold him the equipment also made a mistake and charged his credit card twice. There is another problem which the company sold the AC at the wholesale price, and not the selling price. He figures out this issue and calls me about it. He will try to get ahold of the regional manager to honor what they sold him the AC unit for and to also get his money refunded. A few days goes by, he said he will be at the house by tuesday. We texted him a day before to ask if he was still coming. He never replied. I texted him and called him, he did not respond. I gave him a check for the down payment. I have text proof of our conversations. Is there anything i can do to get my money back? Sorry English is not my first language.  <response>: I suggest going to rlegaladvice for the best possible advice you can get.. But I know I was in a situation where I had text documents and proof of payment, etc. I had to take the person to civil court.
