QUESTION
Regarding incomplete Scuba Classes: Should we request a full refund in the form of a demand letter?
Asked on Oct 23rd, 2015 on Breach of Contract - Florida
More details to this question:
We prepaid for Dive Certification Classes. We received classroom sessions and pool education and 2 years later we are waiting for the final open water dive trips to complete the course. For over a year we tried calling and visiting the shop to schedule & were told one excuse after another. At no time did this Dive company make any attempt to contact us to continue the class. We come to find out from the PADI Scuba Association, that if it is past a year then we have to start over. This is a serious life risking activity and we are not comfortable with any future open ended promises for risky dive trips nor to put our lives in the hands of such an unprofessional company especially after we request a refund from them. Should we request a full refund in the form of a demand letter?

You can clearly send a demand letter requesting a refund. The bigger issue is why did this drag on for 2 years? Such classes are typically several weeks long courses. In the future do not wait so long to address this type of issue with an attorney.
