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.

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.
