Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

No written authorization

Pool company is billing me for parts and labor for service I did not authorize. Technician claims I gave permission verbally. We have no written agreement. Can they take back the equipment and still bill for services rendered. I haven't paid and will not allow them to take their equipment back.

Re: No written authorization

Your story may be incomplete. You say they reference a verbal agreement, then you state you have no written agreement. We don't know what was said, and you do not provide that information. Given that it seems likely (again, you do not say) that they were authorized to be doing something on your property, too many details are missing. If unknown people showed up totally out of the blue and without your knowledge and worked on your pool, you may not have to pay. If you told them to do something and now your only defense is that it was not in writing, you have a problem. The grey area in the middle, you need to provide the whole story.
