I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
ghostwriter wants credit. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.
The contract was signed 8 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $48,000.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
I specialize in this area of law. 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.
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.
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.

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.

I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
Been there. Here's what I learned.

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

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