Dear Ivan -- Sorry that this problem with NPF is getting to you so hard. Might be best if you can consign it to history and "move on" -- i.e., even though it may have been an injustice (and a costly one), don't let it pull you down. Move on to better, more positive NEW things. However, if you want to pursue it, my suggestion again is: consult a good lawyer and see if you do still have a fightable case. For example, you say that Small Claims Court is out, because of the travel that would have to be involved. Maybe so -- but if you perhaps have a lawyer who is based in Florida *represent you in court* there, you may not have to travel at all. That aside, perhaps (and I'm guessing here) you might have a legitimate *Federal* claim, as opposed to a *State* claim, to make. A good lawyer can tell you if this might be so. I don't know the rules, but maybe that approach would also remove the "travel obstacle". If I were you, I'd pursue all possible avenues of obtaining good professional advice as to whether you do or don't have a case, and as to what to do about it. But I would also try hard to break free of the negativity that this admittedly unjust situation has brought to you -- You're worth a lot more to yourself, and to other good people, if you allow yourself to "let go"-- even for a little bit -- so that you can also turn your energies toward more productive new challenges. Best, SJS
