Initial Complaint

- Complaint Type:
- Product Issues
- Status:
- Answered
The transaction took place on November 16, 2022. The amount of money paid was $100. The business was committed to providing me with a general checkup for my cat. The business directly mislead me into thinking that the $100 dollars were a deposit toward having an opening in their schedule for an appointment. They were not clear at all about how their deposit policy worked. On top of that, after spending roughly an hour giving them information to schedule an appointment, the receptionist did mention there would be a deposit until the very end of the conversation. The receptionist explained that the deposit meant if I missed an appointment, I could have it rescheduled with no problem since I made that initial deposit. I was directly misled by the receptionist explaining to me how the deposit works.Business response
