frustrated_driver_MA OP

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

warranty claim denied on technicality. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 12 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $33,000.

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

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.

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

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under common law contract principles, unconscionable.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
