this is ridiculous, and hopefully i'll be able to get this taken care of, whether it be with my bank, the company, or a lawyer!
i called into the company, and they offered to refund me a whopping 50%! thats still only 565$!!! this is insane that a company can do this, and myself being in the computer industry, i cannot believe i got fooled! don't let it happen to you!
