adulting_is_hard_12 OP

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

franchise agreement hidden fees. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 16 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $75,000 honestly.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Most folks screw this up by is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The thing that gets people is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.
