(The rest of the story)
We arrived at a business center, went up to the right floor where their office was, and I have to say - I was impressed, because the office was stunning, you could clearly see this company had money

We walk in, a staff member greets us, I explain the situation and say I want to speak to the manager - to which she tells me he stepped out 5 minutes ago and will be back in 2 hours, I said we'd wait

She then calls her manager, says something to him in Turkish, and passes the phone to me

For the next minute their manager spoke to me in English. English is clearly not his strong suit, and the whole time I was thinking to myself "damn, how do I explain everything to him, he won't understand me" - but then at the end he drops: "We will return 100% of your money."

We won 🥳

And a week after our office visit, the money was back 😌

Really glad their manager is a man of wisdom and keeps his word!

Yes, the amount wasn't huge, but it's not about the money, it's about fairness and standing up for yourself.

I'm grateful to my wife, who taught me so well how to hold my ground and who supported me through the whole thing.

Anyway, what a mess - have you ever been in a situation where someone treated you unfairly?
