Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

should I go to law school. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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

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

Attorney here. 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 the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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.

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.
