    Default Re: Lawsuit After Winning Credit Card Charge Reversal

    If you have documented reasonable attempts to give the original contractor the opportunity to correct the problems and sufficient time to do so, and if you can prove that the work was indeed not what you contracted for, and if you can prove that the engagement of another firm after the first firm failed to redress its breach was the only reasonable way to proceed, and if you can prove that the amount you paid the second firm was reasonable and no more than required to obtain the benefits of your original bargain with the first contractor, then you should be okay. Those are a lot of ifs. Make sure you have all the documentation to prove each of those things, and testimony from others as to the condition of the original work.

    Oh, and as was implied previously, if you did not retain any old unused materials a court may find that you had the obligation to return them and require you to pay for them. If you reused them then you may have to pay for them. How much did you pay the 2nd contractor to complete the botched work? If it cost you more, you might consider countersuing for the difference between the original contract price and what you had to pay the 2nd contractor.
