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

warranty claim denied on technicality. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 6 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $54,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

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.

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

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have UCC Article 2 years for this type of claim.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I've dealt with this before.

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