Contracts

I am from New Zealand and have received a quote for engine parts for my grader engine from a firm in Michigan. We paid the amount required on Feb 9th 2010 and have waited and waited for the parts. We rung countless times but after a the 1st 3 to 4 calls he would not answer and when he did he would argue and accuse us of hounding him.The amount paid was $15000.00 us and we received goods to the value of $5450.00 approx would have to check. I rung him again and got through he tried to tell me that this order did not exist and was done in November last year and hung up. We have had to reorder from another supplier and pay extra for this. Can you please help us out here or give little advice?

Can a 'new' boss tell me my contract expires on the 27th of April and it's not in my contract signed by the vendor?

I DO NOT MIND PAYING THEM A REASONABLE AMOUNT,BUT I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE AMOUNT THAT I DID UNFORTUNATELY AGREED TO.THEY HAVE ALREADY CHARGED MY ACCT FOR THE FIRST $1000.00 AND WILL PROBABLY CHARGE ME ANOTHER$1000.00 THIS WEEK.

The contract with our waste management company states that after the three year contract expires, it will automatically renew for one year increments unless we notify them written notice 90-180 days before the anniversary of the signing. The three year contract expires this month and we would like to change waste companies, but were told that we cannot cancel for another year. Is this enforceable?

I have done $10,000 dollars of work on this property, always being on call for him and his needs for five years. Another $10,000 dollars worth on the property he used to live in and two other rentals and moving him and his new wife. Can i get compensated for this since I never contacted this other then by word?
