Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
subscription impossible to cancel. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
The contract was signed 20 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $13,000.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, common law contract principles. Your state may provide additional protections.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
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've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
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 send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
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 went through almost the exact same thing.
