Legal Question in Consumer Law in Illinois

Refund not given back in timely fashion

The hotel I have been staying at for 6 months now accidentally charged me two $150 cancellation fees even though I cancelled one week in advance. They admitted this was a mistake on their part. They refunded me only one of those and the other one is yet to be refunded. I have spoke to them many times and they keep saying it will be done. Its been over two months now. How can they keep my money for so long?

Re: Refund not given back in timely fashion

If you paid by credit card, consider looking into a chargeback.

Some travel magazines offer an ombudsman service - you might look into that.

Otherwise, if all else fails, depending on where the you are located vis-a-vis the hotel, you might sue them in small claims court.

Unfortunately, the amount is too small to interest any lawyer.
