I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.
scope creep with no amendment. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and teh situation isn't improving.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under common law contract principles. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct unconscionable.
I'd at least do a free phone consult with someone. Can't hurt.
So this is more common than people think.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Your mileage may vary depending on the specifics.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Following this thread — I could have written this post myself. Same exact problem.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
I demanded to talk to a manager and suddenly they could help/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it no cap.
This comes up a lot.
I eventually got results by escalating/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
I've dealt with this before.
I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
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.
