I checked with a local lawyer here who says that if interested, i need to look for representation in california. he said that the other option would be to sue in indiana, and then transfer the judgement to california (those weren't his words, but i cannot remember the fancy terms). but i cannot sue in indiana, because o2 is not registered to do business in indiana. he said that seeking representation in california could be costly. i noticed that there are some people on here, who live in california. i'm wondering if you can send an email to a lawyer near you, to see what their take on our situation is. thanks, you can reply on here, i check the o2 sports reports often. thanks, michelle.

Yes we need to all do as Diana here is doing here and take action! File a claim in small claims court, and contact the District Attorney's office. I didnt know there was a consumer protection investigations division, but that seems like another good place to start too. And for the record there is no accounting department at this company, only the owner and maybe 1 or 2 employees....thats it. Bottom line is they are just giving you a load of Bull to buy some time. They have no intention of paying you back or making things right. I have yet to see or hear of even ONE customer where they have made things right or refunded someone there money, unless forced to do so by an outside party (bank, credit card company, legal or government entity).

The same happened to me, although my purchase was at the end of March. I paid with a debit card and luckily my bank's rule is that I can file for a chargeback within 120 days. However, I've read that many credit card companies will actually file disputes within 2 years of purchase day even though not advertised. If I were you I'd make sure the Chino police department added your address/ph# to their report (I can't remember if you already said you did this). Then I would call my credit card company and beg them to do it. It's worth a shot. My fear though is that the company will go bankrupt or close their account or flee the country by the time the chargeback gets processed and I'll be out of luck. I don't know if their bank would have to take the hit or not. Good luck!
