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

contract has unconscionable terms. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 20 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $123,000 🤷.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation though.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet.

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

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

I think half the threads here are about this exact issue.

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