Hypothetical question

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

influencer contract unfair terms. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and teh situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 17 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $56,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Tbh 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 lol.

Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably UCC Article 2, which requires showing a material breach.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Not a lawyer for what it's worth, but I have direct experience with this.

A lot of people mess up by is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead honestly.

Classic scenario honestly.

The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
