If a plumbing company advertises a veterans discount and refuses to give one, would this be legal grounds to file suit?

Their claim was that they gave me a fair price for the $25,000 sewer line repair (ouch), but I didn't tell them I was a veteran until the bill was written up hoping to lower the "ouch" factor. They refused to modify the bill and provide me my veterans discount after I presented my VA card to them. Do I have legal recourse other than Poo Pooing them on Facebook?

That depends if you have a binding contract. Moreover, it depends on if it’s worth it, which for the $25-70, or whatever, isn’t worth it. Small Claims orJudge Judy are about it. There’s a lot out the on what you theoretically can do. That list shortens a lot when actually doing something. Easier path is tp pitch that booger over to your State consumer protection crowd. If they have an interest, fine. If not, then you shouldn’t either. What you’re left with is griping on Yelp. Make absolutely sure you’re accurate lest you be subjected to a legal action for slander.

Thank you Mr. Ball, I'll take your advise and contact the state consumer protection service.

Was the advertised discount current when you purchased the services? You'll need proof of an offered discount, along with documentation (like a receipt) if you wish to pursue action against the company.
