I got the call yesterday that the 'performance' for the weekend left around $7500 on the bill. When I told them all my cards were maxed out and my bank accounts were overdrawn, they were gracious enough to drop it down to $5500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
This whole charging thing still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because it doesn't make any logical sense. But I'm the moron who put his name on the dotted line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) At this point I doubt there is anything I can really do about it. There is around $1000 coming in from the silent auction. As I told a few people at the event, I really thought they were going to be a little more gracious about this.

Mark, I just printed the contract and showed to my SO/in house attorney to be and she said you are screwed. The contract is binding, the terms of cancellation are clearly spelled out. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The fact that they tried to charge more to some is irrelevant, they are framing their damages as he agreed upon. It's called "Liquidated damages" which goes beyond what the basic room rate was. Her advice is to have your lawyer contact them and try to negotiate a compromise. If this was 6 months from now, she would be able to do it for you. She takes the bar in July so she is not yet licensed. Sorry. Why don't we wait until he heres this from real lawyers.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) If you gave it to a real lawyer, this is the answer you might get: Well, It seems we may have a case here. Of course, the hotel has a good argument for charging you as well. It is really hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. You did sign a legal contract, but that doesn't really mean anything. Then again, it might. Why don't you set up an appointment and we can discuss this further. There is no guarantee we can win, but you do have a legitimate argument, and I feel good about it. But remember, the hotel has a good argument too. I guess what I am trying to say is, that this could go either way, but I am willing to help you. Even though we may not win, it is important for me to get paid. Did I just say that out loud? I meant, it is important that we fight this to the end, no matter how much it may cost, because this is about my Porsche car payment that's due. Oops, I meant principal, this is about principal. Now........you can make that check out to Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. Please make sure to put a comma after every three zeros. |
