I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

SaaS provider changed terms unilaterally. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 6 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $13,000.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under UCC Article 2, a material breach.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

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.

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

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
