On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX before booking to ensure I had correct information. I stated to her I seen a special online on XXXX for a spa party for me and a few of my friends. She advised me to go ahead and book which I did that same day. She contacted me letting me know that with XXXX  I would not receive all the services so I canceled with XXXX to book directly through her site. I waited a few days until XXXX refunded my order to place the order through her direct website. Once I received my refund from XXXX, I proceeded to her website and booked the event for {$420.00}. I read the description and it stated verbatim You can choose services and if you need our location with party coordinator which she has went in on the website and tried to change but I have the screenshot of before and after she changed it without my knowledge. While I was on her website attempting to book the service I seen where she asked for customers location, so before proceeding I called again to ask if she would be traveling to us because what other reason would you need my address? She replied yes and I said great I will go ahead and book I just wanted to clarify. We hung the phone up and I proceeded to book. I received an email with all information including what, when, duration, price, and where. In which all of this information is the information I provided her with when booking on her website. I have the screen shots of that as well. She also changed that information without my knowledge because in the screenshot she sent me it states that you can edit booking and it is not the same address I gave when giving her my booking info. The address I gave her to come to which is also included in the booking email is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but she changed it to another address without my knowledge which I now figured out is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX. It is not good business to change info on a service booked without the customers knowledge then blame the customer for your mistake and lie about it. I contacted XXXX with info about disputing the charge and sent them everything over proving I was being taken advantage of because she clearly changed her information after the fact she found out she was wrong. They offered me a provisional credit but eventually awarded to the business which I feel is not fair because there was information changed on her website and booking site without my knowledge after I received the information she gave me from the beginning. To me first impression is everything. I would have never decorated or cooked food for the event had I been aware it was going to be held at another location. This is two businesses taking advantage of a customer with valid evidence You can not tell a consumer one thing then go behind their backs and change it. If you would look at the email screenshots you will see the dates as to where she changed it from one location to another. Also, another screenshot is where she sent me a screenshot of her address where it clearly says edit booking and that is what she did prior to sending to me. Because my original email from the day I book XX/XX/XXXX has the booking address I gave her. There is a two part screenshot for the booking email I received before it was changed without my knowledge, I couldnt fit it all in one so there are two images.
