I was building a website to be a travel advisor. However, on */*, I called my Host Agency that I didn't think this was the right fit for me. And, 2 days later, I go to my website, which was not associated legally with the website building program, and the website builder wiped my account clean. There's nothing. I can't do anything. Then I find out they also disconnected my social media accounts. I paid $* for a one year service agreement with the web builder, which allowed me * domains. Are they allowed to do this? And, it is impossible to reach them unless you are a paying member on their site.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Wisconsin, there are laws to protect consumers against unfair business practices.
- Did you have a written contract with the web builder?
- If so, what were the terms of service regarding cancellation and refunds?
These details will help assess your situation better.

No. He sent me an invoice via e-mail, and when I go to access the document it says there is no existence of that in their system. As far as cancellation, if I cancelled I would get nothing back. But I didn't cancel. They wiped me out because my Host Agency told them to. I our training with the Host Agency, he kept recommending this site because it was "free".

Both of these companies are based in California.
Based on the new information, here's what you should know:

Is this a California number, or it doesn't matter
I'm sorry for any confusion, ****. Could you please clarify what you mean by "California number"? Are you referring to a phone number or another type of number?
Would I be phoning into lawyers based in California where the companies are, or just any lawyer
Since the companies in question are based in California, it would be beneficial to consult with a California-based attorney. They would have a better understanding of the state's laws and how they apply to your situation.
