Say you hired someone to do some work for you, like create and engine, propellor and lights for something you were building, say that something was a Submarine, you paid this person $500L and they didnt finish the job, by not adding the lights and making it so you couldnt modifying the propellor or engine thus rendering it useless to you because you can't link items that aren't yours. Then, in your attempt to get them back on your job, you pay them $300L that the person they were currently negotiating with was short on. But what you didn't know was that that person had taken $300L from a friend and already paid the employee which in the end means the employee got $850L from those 2 people. And taking into account the $500L you paid earlier that person whos name is [edited name], gained a total of $800L from you for an unfinished job. You then later confront [edited name] to give you the $300L but he claims there was no tie in there and that youg ave it to him for free. But who in their right mind gives away $300L on a tight budget such as mine. What would you do in order to get the money back? All $800L of it? Take legal action? Or would it be possible to take legal action against SL and the party afore mentioned.?

Would you take legal action for something that cost you less than US$10?

If my budget was that tight sure but what other way would you be able to go about to get the money back?

First, I would remove the name from your post.

Legal action is out of the question for US$3.

You can try to AR the person, but I don't know that it would go anywhere.

I would try to just move on and don't think about it again.

Keep paying them more, maybe they'll decide to make it.... one day.

First: paragraphs.

Second: L$500 isn't very much money at all for an even remotely complex scripting project. You got what you paid for.

Third: Legal action? Hahahaha, it would cost you more money just to have a lawyer sneeze on the phone at you. You're talking about money here that is the rough equivalent of that necessary to buy a Rodeo Cheeseburger at Burger King.
