More details to this question:
I got a loan from a pawn shop in June. In July, I payed an extension. Today I went in to pay another extension but found out they sold my jewelry yesterday. They sold it before the expiration date because he didn't keep proper records, which he stated himself. He wants to pay me $200 for it, but my jewels were worth a lot more than that. I live in Florida. What can I do?

You will need to have a lawyer review your paperwork for the terms of the pawn and the details regarding the extension. This is highly regulated business under Fla. Stat. 539.
