Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

My fiance and I decided to go to a local travel agency and set up a wedding in Jamaica on February 6, 2010. This was back in June. They said we would have until December 1, 2009, to cancel but it would be $50 per room taken by the party. There were 3 rooms reserved so that is $150. Two weeks ago, November 9, 2009, we told the travel agent that we would like to cancel and she said it will be $50 per room. The travel agent called today, November 22, 2009, and said that it will be $50 per person, which comes out to $550. That is a $400 difference. The travel agency did not give us, nor anybody else in the party any contract. They did give a receipt. Do I only pay the $150 because that was the verbal agreement or do I pay the $550? Please help.

If there is no contract, you may not owe anything. Take a look at the contract you signed.

Did you do this online? You may have agreed to these terms if you purchased online. Unless you agreed to pay a cancellation fee, I don't see why you should pay it. Regards,
