Backing out of a contract

How do I back out of a contract if they do not do the job I paid them for??? I paid 1/2 up front and they want the rest but they did not do what they said they are going to do. Now they are going to reck my credit, can they do that. Thank you for your time.

Re: Backing out of a contract

What type of a contract? If "they" failed to perform under the contract as promised, you are releaved from your promise. Perhaps, you might consider suing for a refund of the 1/2 you already paid. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.

Re: Backing out of a contract

Your question has no facts therefore, this may be of some guidance, or be totally irrelevant to your situation. If a party to a contract has an apprehension that the other party will not perform, then you may send a letter to the other party: 1) Assuring the other party that you are ready, willing, and able to perform the contract; (2) Reasonably detail what the other party has failed to do under the contract; and (3) Request that the other party provide "adequate assurances" in writing that they intend to fully perform each and everyone of their obligations under the contract by a certain date. You may wish to consult a local attorney regarding your situation.

Good luck,

Randall Gilbert
