Summary of Dispute

I inquired about an apartment; 2-bedroom 1 bath located at Pineview apartments in Neosho Missouri on FB marketplace. I received an email the within 24 hours saying I had been preapproved, and a list of things to do in order to set a move in date, the first thing was to pay the hold deposit, so I payed $600. I completed all but 1 or 2 steps, and decided to call the listed number, to inquire about the part concerning my credit score having to be 550 or more. When an operator answered I asked about credit score and was told I would have to pay an additional $150, and they would overlook that part. then was put on hold while the operator doublechecked everything and spoke with someone to make sure everything was done. then after about 5 min they hung up on me. I immediately received an email stating they decided to give the apt to another applicant and were keeping my deposit.

Summary of Transaction Venue's Actions

When I asked for my deposit back, they first said that they would refund all but $250. Then said it was under review by their corporate office. Then sent me an email saying I had lied on my application, and they would not refund any of my $600 deposit. I still have every bit of correspondence both sent and received.
