in august of 2008 i was going to buy a house, so i put 17,000 down 10,000 was to go tward the closing on the house, 5,000 was a deposit and the other 2,000 was for first months rent. i rented it untill my credit was good enough to buy it. well after a year it still wasnt good enough to buy it so i moved out because i couldent afford 2,000 a month anymore. in the contract it says i was to get 10,000 back and they keep the other 5,000 for taking it off the market. when i moved out and requested my 10,000 back they said they spent it and dident have it. so i need to know what i should do. i spoke to a lawyer here and he said it could cost me 6,000 or 7,000 dollars to fight this. i need some help cause i dont have alot of money and there must be someway to get it back. i have the contract. what can i do?
