Legal Question in Business Law in Oregon

I recently was in a rent to own store and put money down to have a TV ordered and changed my mind seeing that I am being charged over $4000 for a tv that retails for $1450. Called up the store wishing to cancel my order and they told me its not possible. I have only filled out an application I have not signed a contract for the tv. My receipt says store credit,a receipt number,date,time,total amount paid,and the special order number. What I am wondering is of I have any legal right to my money back or can I only use this as in store credit. Thank you in advance . I live Oregon if that makes a difference.

If the store refuses to refund your money, you can sue the store in small claims court (for up to $7,500) for "money had and received" and "unjust enrichment." Here is more info on filing in small claims court, where attorneys are not necessary. http://www.osbar.org/public/pamphlets/smallclaims.html

If you tell the store you plan to file a claim in small claims court, you will probably get a refund ASAP.
