What is the procedure when filing a civil action suit in Florida state?
My cell phone company (T-Mobile), has canceled my service every month since I got the service on June 6, 2008. Claiming they cannot see on their system where I made the payment for installation. I find it strange that the service was installed, I have the receipt showing the debit card transaction was authorized (from their very own office), the deduction was made from my bank account but yet I’m missing my June payment????
I have faxed the transaction receipt to the T-Mobile office, the bank has done the same. Now they tell me that my service will not restored because I cannot provide proof of payment. What the heck? The phone has been disconnected & reconnected every day since the beginning of this week. I am not only terribly annoyed, I am losing money for each day because contractors call us while in the field on the business cell.
Do I even have grounds for filing a suit and how do I go about it? I lost ,000.00 on a job that I was called to do but since my phone was off, I missed out and that’s a major blow especially in this economy. HELP….

Time to call your lawyer. You can be sure that your cell phone company has plenty of lawyers to protect their interests!
You may have a case, since it appears that they have breached the contract more than once.
Your loss is not insignificant. I would not take this to small claims court.
Consult your attorney. If you do not have one, use the lawyer referral service at the State Bar: http://www.floridabar.org
