in dire need of legal help here

Hello, my name is Luis and I have quite an issue on my hands. You see I
am
currently a college student. When I first started I tried looking for
online jobs that would make my life \"easier\" instead of working for
the
school. As I was driving I heard an infomercial about a company called
Internet Speedway, on the radio. It did sound too good to be true, but
I was
a bit naive at the time. I called them up and the service was that I
would
create my own website with pre-stocked items in their warehouses. Then
I had
to go through other steps to make sure to let my business accept credit

cards and to drive traffic to it. Since I\'m in school I knew this
wasn\'t
going to work out to well. So I purchased another one of their products

which is an upgrade to this basic program. I purchased the Gold Member
upgrade, which, or at least the representative said, guaranteed me
100,000
people worth of traffic. I was uneasy about the whole idea because the
price
on it was $3,500. He then said he wouldn\'t pressure me and that he
would
give me 1 year of free hosting, 200,000 people worth of free traffic
and I
would have people who could help me design my website. I was still
unsure
and I told him that I would need to talk to my parents about it. What
he
said after should\'ve sent a red flag flying up in the air for me. He
said
that i shouldn\'t even think about it since it\'s my money and not my
parents. He kept repeating that, and promised me that with the traffic
that
Internet Speedway guaranteed I would be making the lower end of six
figures
a year...at least. Being a college student I said yes, i\'ll buy it. We
went
through an agreement and he told me that he was to record what i said,
and i
was fine with that. So all i had to do now was to come up with a name
for my
website and a logo. He then transfered me to another person who was in
charge of website designs. I told him i wasn\'t ready with the
information
and he said it was ok. He persisted on calling me at least twice every
week
for about 2 weeks. Until i fina!
lly felt
pressurized and came up with the web site\'s name. But before all this

happened, the day after i had agreed to purchase the upgrade i searched

Internet Speedway on google.com. The first few articles that came up
were
all from Rip-Off Report.com. This made me nervous and i immediately
called
to cancel the membership. The representative said that it was too late
to
cancel. Then i called my bank telling them not to let Internet Speedway
take
funds out of my account...they had already taken $1000 dollars that
very
day, though. I called my representative again and told him to cancel my

membership and again he told me the same thing. So now i thought that
it was
futile to ask for a refund. Today I called them again, and it has been
about
3-4 months since i purchased this product. I told them, finally, i
wanted a
refund because i need money for books, expenses, and all the good stuff
at
college. They had me transfered a bunch of times and finally i talked
to
someone who knew about the subject. First he told me that the product
is
non-refundable, even though i wasn\'t satisfied with it. Then, he said
that
i shouldn\'t have waited so long for a refund...So i said, wait a
minute...i
thought you said it was non-refundable. I think this is where he
slipped
because he kept saying that it was a non-refundable fee. He then told
me
that my representative was just a consultant and he had no authority to

cancel or refund my account. I then said, why didn\'t he transfer me to
the
proper department. And he said that the consultant\'s job was just to
upgrade my membership. I said, ok...whatever. I hung up, and now i\'m
writing this letter. So far till this day i have had lots of traffic,
and i
accept credit cards on my website, to my knowledge, but i have not had
a
single sale. I\'m really sorry for the long email, but I really am in
need
of my money and right now I can\'t pay attention to the online business
i
have set up because i am drowning in school work. Again, i\'m sorry for
the
long message but i hope you reply and !
you can
help. Thank You.

Based on what you say here, you could file suit against them (or at least threaten to do so) in small claims court or in regular court; filing in small claims court is easier and requires no attorney...you could try to collect all of the costs and damages that you suffered due to their behavior... You may also report them to your state attorney general's office. World Law attorneys could also become directly involved, if need be.
