Max | Can they really keep my deposit??? |
I was signed up to go on a long range fishing trip with a company that runs these trips all the time. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the trip, after making a $900 deposit. When I called to cancel, though, they told me it was 85 days before the trip left, and they have a 90 day cancellation policy, thus they would not refund one cent of my deposit. Can they legally keep my money? I admit, their policy was printed on the invoice they sent after they received my money, I just hadn't seen it, nor was I told of this policy at the time I paid them, just when I got the receipt. Help!!! |

OK.
Real world here.
They have your money. They don't want to give it back.
Unless something forces them to give it back - such as a judgment from a court - they can keep it.
And even w a judgment in your favor, collecting the money is a whole other problem.
If you want to get into 'should they be able to keep it' or 'is it fair that they won't give it back', then that's a whole other thing.
That, though, is an exercise in futility - talking about how life is not fair.
Real lessons are always expensive.
You will be fine, and, going forward, you will be 50 X as wary about parting with your money. You will also read the fine print - and be aware that you have signed a binding contract. In the long run, you could be better off. It's better to get burned on something like this than on something like a $ 15k car or a $ 200k house.
Sorry - that's just the real-deal truth.
I would pursue it, but I would adjust to the idea that your money is history. Then, if you actually get something, then it will be like found money.
From your description, though, you were on the wrong side of the line. It would be nice to get your dough back, but, ultimately, whose responsibility is it ? It may not be pleasant, but really - truthfully - if you were observing this from the outside - who is right ?
When bad things happen to people, 98% of them spend amazing amounts of time trying to figure out how / why it is someone else's fault.
Don't do that. Distinguish yourself from the average childish person who refuses to take responsibility.
If you accept responsibility for your goofs / mistakes, and you live according to that, then you can rightfully expect the same from others.
That is living with integrity. |

Yes, they can keep your deposit. This is what it is for. They did not sell your spot to someone else and should not be the ones to take the hit because you changed your mind.
You may be able to ask them to apply your deposit to a differant trip, that might work for both of you. |

Of course they can keep the money. You admitted that you became aware of the policy when you were invoiced for the trip, yet you did not cancel within the 90 day time frame.
Did I miss something here ??? |

Yes, they can keep the deposit. Always read the fine print. Buy vacation insurance next time. |

They can keep it all. Sorry!
They gave you a copy of the terms in writing, so you don't have a claim.
But think about it from THEIR perspective...how likely is it they can replace you on such short notice? And they will still have the same expenses as if you were there on the trip... |

That is called a contract of adherence. You would have to check with a local attorney. |

Yep. Next time you book something like this get 'travel insurance'. It's cheap, many different sites on the net have it, and it will usually cover you even if you start the trip and a hurricane or something cuts it short. I use it for cruises all the time out of FL during hurricane season (when rates are cheapest :) ) |

You may want to speak to a lawyer about this, just to make sure and so that you won't have any doubts. Don't just sit there! Take action for what you think might've been cheating. |

Yes, they can. |

Sorry, but unless your state has a law that overrides that slip, they can totally keep the deposit. They will argue that if you had a problem with the deposit being non-refundable within 90 days, you should have used a different company with a shorter cancellation requirement. I'm sure it's not what you want to hear, but it's true! |
