Product Warranty Dispute — auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

auto-renewal trapped me in 3-year deal. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 4 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $34,000.

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

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

Attorney here. 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.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.
