Some of us say, "what's the use in trying to recover my money?" The truth is you may not be able to get your money back on your own when shopping online. When you're talking about $5 -$10 for an offer, what's the use in trying anyway.  When it comes to Real Estate we don't hesitate to try to get our money back if a transaction goes bad.

When I first got into my primary business I retained an law firm to handle matters pertaining to my business. I am still able to use there services on a nationwide basis. The good thing about having a law firm on retainer is it doesn't matter who big or how small a matter is they work on your behalf because that's why they get paid.

When I decided to get into the freebie business one of the first things I realized was that there might be a time when I needed a letter or phone call made on my behalf to a vendor. Normally because our financial outlay is so small we tend to let things go that don't work out in our favor. If you think about it, the dollars add up when we let too many things go.

I thank God I haven't had to use an attorney but a few times when dealing with vendors. The law firm I use has come in handy and I have not been taken advantage of by vendors. On the few occasions all I said was, "I'll just have my attorney contact you" and the vendor's tone changed. In one situation a vendor didn't believe me and when they got the letter from my attorney they responded by immediately reversing the charges that were wrongly charged.

I would say to anybody who is in the freebie business to not let vendors bully you. This is a business and we need to treat it as such.

Recovering your money is definitely not a waste of time, no matter how small or large the sum.
