I'm assuming that what has happened, is you haven't gotten your deposit back.
If you didn't give written notice to the seller that you were withdrawing from the contract, you need to look at the contract, and see what it says about giving notice for that. If you haven't passed the time limit -- usually a few days after the inspection is received -- you need to give the notice, and follow exactly what the contract says about how to give notice. It should all be there. If you're late, you need to see an attorney in your area, as soon as possible.
If you have given notice, and you're still not getting your money, you still need an attorney. The bar association has an attorney referral service listed in your telephone book, and another good place to find a qualified lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com

I'm afraid that your question was cut off. You can resubmit it if you'd like.
Thanks.
