Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
ghostwriter wants credit. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
The contract was signed 6 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $28,000.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
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.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Of course the details matter a lot here.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
A lot of people mess up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
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 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.
