Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia
Broken Verbal Agreement
We had a verbal agreement with a store for the credit purchase of deasel fuel. We would give the store a blank signed check at the first of the month and at the end of the month we would receive a bill and they would fill in the balance and deposit the check. This month my husban brought in the new check on 6-14-05 and instead of the last month bill of 379.00 dollars being deducted for last month bill they deducted 606.00 for last month and part of this month. Leaving us with over 500.00 if INS fees and bounce check fees. They will not reimburse us for any of this money. What can we do?

Re: Broken Verbal Agreement
I hate to tell you this, but verbal agreements, while valid, are very hard to prove in court. My best thought is to bite the bullet, pay this bill and either terminate the arrangement with this company and either deal with someone else or enter into a WRITTEN agreement with this company. Because of their seeming bad faith, I would never again give them a blank check.
