Contract Interpretation Dispute — auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

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 12 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $28,000.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

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 specialize in this area of law. 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.

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

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
