John Sherry Photography

I initially contacted John Sherry on November 22, 2014 to do a photoshoot for me and my family on November 30, 2014. I met with him locally on November 24, 2014 to give him my $20 deposit and he said he would email me the contract (he never did email it to me). On the evening of November 29, 2014, he emailed me to let me know he had an emergency and couldn't make it, so we rescheduled for December 6, 2014. He then emailed me at 2:00am that morning to let me know he couldn't make it then either and that he would meet with me on December 8, 2014 to refund me since he provided no services and had to cancel on me. He did not meet with me like he said he would, so I contacted him and asked when we would meet and he said he would just mail me a check (on December 11, 2014). It is now almost a month later (January 8, 2015) and I have not received a check in the mail and he refuses to cancel the check with his bank and send me a new one. He says that he does not owe me a refund, even though there is no contract saying that it is non-refundable. He did not render any services for me, so the way I see it is that he has stolen my money.Product_Or_Service: Photography PhotoshootDesired SettlementI would like to be refunded my $20 deposit that he did not earn. He did not render any services to me and he is the one who cancelled the appointments, not me, so there is no reason I should not be refunded.
