She's the one who said in a email she's not giving out  the adress an  to send it to her lawyer but never gave a name - that's why I asked..Likely she's bluffing.I'm not even going to email her that the refund has been sent .I want no more to do with this person.Took pics of it all ..an will track the mail.Thanks
