If a store quoted me a promotional interest rate for opening an account but my bill’s interest rate is different, should I be allowed to retun items?
I purchased my wedding gown and veil from a bridal shop after being told I can open an credit card account with 0% interest for 12 months. Bill received a month later says 0% for 6 months. Dress has not been worn yet. Manager says all sales are final but I have a written letter from them stating they made the error. I also have my credit card packet where the associate wrote down the false interest rate. Yet they will not give me a refund. What can I do? I want a full refund because the purchase was made with under an agreement not updeld by davids bridal.

Rather than returning the gown that you bought due to the improper rate of interest quoted you versus what you are supposed to receive, you should keep the dress and insist that you are to receive the 0% interest on your purchase for the 12 months.
After all, you have a written letter from the seller stating there was an error on the interest rate given you. Under the law, you cannot return the dress for a full refund. However, you should receive the 0% interest rate.
