Limitation of Liability Clause — ghostwriter wants credit

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

ghostwriter wants credit. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 14 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $62,000.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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

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.

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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 UCC Article 2 years for this type of claim.

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

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

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.

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