Ok here's the deal. The wife and I bought some property on Ebay 9 months back. Ok we bought it on contract. Paid a down payment, paid on time, paid the closing costs etc. Ok I wrote to him and said hey I wanna pay off the balance of the contract and said this is the total for the pay off and confirm. Well I got these email responses. The first one:

Hello,
There is a problem. Please, be asured that if this is not OK with you will get a refund. After the auction, I was sent a letter from the County that stated: The prior owners illegally subdivided the land. Just put a call into the City Attorney, but they have not gotten back to me. They are going after the people who did it. We hoped it would be cleared up by now. So, ownership an not be transfered until the matter is settled.
The choice is yours. We can wait, or you can get a refund. I appologize!!! This has never happened before. Let us know what you want to do.
Thanks,
Millicent

Ok, simple I want a refund. Don't want to go through the hassle of the title ordeal. So I write back and ask for a refund. I get these response.

We need to go through the file and give you a final figure. Then, we will send out a contract cancellation. After we get that back, you will be send a check. We apologize once again for any inconvenience.

Something fishy don't know but something. Can't put my finger on it but I suspect we may have gotten ripped off. Didn't even give me when we could expect our refund or nothing. The question I have is what kind of Legal actions can I take against them if the refund doesn't happen.
