Door to Door Sales
I bought a vacuum from a door-to-door salesman. After the salesperson left, I realized that I was pressured into a sale and I really didn't need a new vacuum as my current one is working just fine. I already paid the money and feel that there may be very little I can do. I would like to return the vacuum and get my money back. Can you help?
