Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

influencer contract unfair terms. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 13 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $143,000.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied covenant of good faith. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct commercially reasonable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

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.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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.
