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

influencer contract unfair terms. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 7 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $7,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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

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.

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

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

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.

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.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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.
