I need small claims advice! I'm wondering if it's worth taking it to court, or if I should just forget about it and eat the money.
Basically, one of the vendors for my wedding broke their contract, claimed I broke the contract, and charged a $250 cancellation fee to my credit card. I've worked my way up through the ranks (it's a hotel where i had a block of rooms reserved for my guests) and hope to talk to the regional manager today. If she isn't willing to reverse the charges, it's been suggested to me that I file a small claims suit. I've already put a record on file with my credit card company that I'm disputing the charge, so I won't get charged interest on the amount until it gets resolved.
Here's my question... I used to work in a small law firm, and we handled a few small claims cases. I know that there's a $80-some dollar filing fee, and a lot of paper work.... I'm wondering if it's even worth the hassle. On one hand, getting the remainder of that $150 or so back would be nice, but is it worth my time?

Ginger, you're attacking the problem from the wrong side.
Just contact your credit card and dispute the charges. That makes it your credit card's problem, not yours
