Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

scope creep with no amendment. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 22 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $91,000.

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

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

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

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.

Look, not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

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