Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

contract has unconscionable terms. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 7 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $43,000.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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.

I've dealt with this before.

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 went through almost the exact same thing.

A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

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.
