I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

subscription impossible to cancel. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 3 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $59,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I've dealt with this before.

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 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.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under UCC Article 2. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct a material breach.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

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

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
