    Diminished Value

    Yeah I sent a physical letter to them with a registered mail stamp so someone had to sign it, then from there someone emailed me. I initially wanted to just email (cmon its 2023) but I was told to send a physical letter first to make it legit.

    Diminished Value

    i could but it wouldn't be small claims court. I think there is a dollar amount limit for small claims court, I think I will just settle for $10K, don't really feel like hiring a lawyer etc.

Should I...
