Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

contract has unconscionable terms. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 8 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $108,000.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I practice in this area. 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 implied covenant of good faith years for this type of claim.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

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 went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

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.

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

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
