Grant rip off, did not recieve what was promied, CSR lied to me, I want to sue

I recieved a green postcard in the mail that said that I was eligible to recieve a $5,000 grant. I called the phone number listed on the card and a CSR spoke to me and said that I could use the grant for anything. I told them I had a credit card debt that needed to be paid off and they said that I was eligible. They told me that they would need to deduct $300 out of my checking account to pay for their services and they did after the next few days.

I then was given a confirmation number 23090. They then sent me a questionaire after a few weeks to let them know what grants I would be eligible for me and I filled it out. I then waited for up to six weeks after they recieved the questionaire in order for me to get my grant. I then recieved a piece of papaer stating all the grants I would be eligible for. The majority of grants listed I am already on or have used like Social Scurity and Housing.

I immediately called up Lions Gate Consulting and spoke to a CSR named Joeph who told me this, "I am sorry that one of our representatives told you that you could use the grant to pay off your credit card, no government grant can do that, except if you did debt consolidation". I was then furious and told him that I was lied to and that I wanted a refund back. He then said, "The only way for us to give you your money back and a refund is if you apply to atleast three grant sources listed and get denial letters from them".

Even though their representative lied to me, all that time wasted waiting for a grant to pay off my credit card, and he tells me that I cannot get a refund unless I apply and get denial letters. I already told him that the money was going to be used for paying off my credit card and the grants listed are not intended for that purpose and would be considered used for something I did not need.

My resolution for this company is for them to issue a refund immediately or I take them to court and sue. I will either sue in small claims court or take it to trial where I would be compensated $5,000 for the money that was promised to me, $300 for the service fee I paid out of my account, attorney and trial expenses, and pain and suffering.
