Seems like a straightforward case for small claims court against KitSplit. You just have to sell the judge on a very straightforward case. The thing about not getting fucked over in situations like this is having the intestinal fortitude to bully companies like KitSplit into making it right for you. You'll probably get compensated by them by blogging about it but you probably could have just muscled them to give you your $4.5k in small claims court.
