Last December I bought an engagement ring from a local jeweler. I paid for it in full then picked it up at the end of the week (the stone had to be set), the next week the store called me and said they made a mistake and charged me wrong and I needed to come in and pay for the rest of it. Now they are taking me to small claims court claiming that I opened a charge account (I didnt) and have a balance owed on it that I didnt pay. The amount isnt very much ($750), so it seems pointless to me to hire a lawyer to defend me when they will cost more than the suit itself. What Im wondering is if they have a case, if I go to court and lose Ill end up paying thousands due to court costs and their lawyer fees.
