"I have been victimized because of a lack of "wanting to understand" the financial position of my company. "
It is not your customers' obligation to have to understand your financial position. Real businesses do not ask their customers to accept excuses in lieu of money owed. By your own admission, you've earned your spot on this website.
A potential customer is certainly going to think twice about handing you a deposit for a job after seeing the way you've handled this. Not a good business decision.

In rebuttal to the complaint filed against my company, I would like to set the story straight. All business owners that I know hold their reputations highly. I have had the unfortunate opportunity to become a victim of the recession as have many other contractors in this country, state and city. Being self-employed hasn't been easy, especially when you work for General Contractors or even home owners who fail to pay you. I have been victimized because of a lack of "wanting to understand" the financial position of my company. My company is well on it's way to bankruptcy. This consumer "extracted specific portions of email correspondences" to facilitate her attack against my company. I have been operating over 15 years and never experienced such a blatant attack on not only my business but personally on my character. Financial restraints, first through overdrafts at my bank and then from non-payment for work my company completed created a situation where my company was unable to respond financially to return a deposit at the time even we anticipated that we would be able to. That is not to say that it will not happen, as it was explained numerous times to this consumer. When my companies financial position improves, we would be more than happy to return the deposit to her, currently, my company is just financially unable to. I personally kept in contact with this consumer to show good faith and I was blown off with a purely unprofessional response each time. I responded to an inquiry from the Better Business Bureau who closed the case as being satisfied. There are some people who we met in life who are just not willing to understand things from a different perspective and will attack you for being human in a world that is unforgiving. In her attack, she said that I used Christianity as an excuse, and I have never in all my years heard of a religion being an excuse. Suffice it to say that I have learned a lot from this experience and we will continue to move in the direction of refunding this consumer her deposit the moment we have the financial capability to do so.
