I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 6 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $55,000.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under common law contract principles, unconscionable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
