Auto-Renewal Subscription Trap — contractor abandoned project halfway

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

contractor abandoned project halfway. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months 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 $136,000.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

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.

I've dealt with this before.

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

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.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

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 common law contract principles, unconscionable.

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

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 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.
