Hypothetical question

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

contract has unconscionable terms. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 7 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $101,000.

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

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

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

A lot of people mess up by is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Here's where people usually go wrong is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

I just learned that indemnification clauses can be mutual or one-sided. Always push for mutual indemnification — if they want you to indemnify them, they should indemnify you too. It's basic fairness.
