Hypothetical question

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

company using my music without sync license. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves software/code I developed over the past 7 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
