Could somebody please help me out here as I'm in a spot of bother. Recently, a rep. from a reputable window company (reputable for being the most expensive,that is) quoted me a price for new windows and doors.As I hadn't done any prior research on the matter and because of a discount offered, I foolishly accepted the price quoted, signed contracts and paid a sizeable deposit by cheque.To my horror, I subsequently learned that the price that I agreed to was much too high and that other companies would do the same work for far less money (perhaps, for a half or evena third of the amount I agreed on). I now want to get out out of this awful deal- but what can I do? I do realize that legally I'm on very shaky ground.The only thing in my favour is that my cheque can't have been cashed yet. Should I cancel it immediately or is it illegal to do so?. I did ask the rep. if the deposit was non-refundable and he said 'not necessarily'. He also didn't give me a receipt. I know I'm merely clutching at straws here but what else can I do ? What would more experienced people do if they were in my desperate situation?
